The hypothesis for my study is that the moisture level of soil greatly affects the vegetation of that area. Therefore, I predict that location 2 will have the lowest percent moisture in the soil, followed by location 1 and finally location 3. My hypothesis touches on a few ecological processes. Those being species richness, water cycling, and variation in vegetation.
To summarize my study in three keywords, I would include soil moisture, vegetation variation, and vegetation success.
