The ecological process that my final research project mainly focuses is the connection between distributional pattern and abundance within trees of different and same specie. Throughout this topic, I will be discussing some factors that play an important role in the type of patterns found in trees which can be seedling, resources, competition and topography. In my interpretation, I will explain how these can compare to the succession of trees at Cranberry Flat which is my area of study. At Cranberry Flat Conservation area two main species of trees can be found I believe one of the primary reason for the low diversity is because of the type of soil present which was laid down by post-glacial deposits, this landform is composed mainly of sand.
My main aim in this research is to prove there is an existent correlation between the species that is more dominant and its distribution, the pattern should be consistent throughout.
Keywords: abundance, distributional pattern, resources, competition.
