My study examines the effect of sunlight exposure on density of Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis). I hypothesized that higher levels of light exposure would be better growing conditions for the goldenrod, and therefore would result in increased plant density. As such, my research primarily relates to the goldenrod’s germination process and its preferential growing conditions. Additional factors that will be considered are the effects of soil moisture, elevation, and competition with other vegetation.
