Throughout this process I struggled to come up with a concept that I could test in the green space by my house. While I was able to eventually turn my observation into an experiment, I began to appreciate the lengths ecologist go to in attempt to find information that will better our world. What I really did struggle with on this project is finding research to help me with my study. As I was reading more of the research articles I also struggled with how basic my study is in comparison to the study’s we have been reading. I felt more pressure and stress to try to make it more then what it was. I spent so much time trying to figure out so many factors to incorporate into my study but then realized they had nothing to do with it. I enjoyed finding out more about the biodiversity of the Potentilla fruticosa, and look forward to the next project.
