My original hypothesis stated that the abundance of dandelions in the centre field of General Brock Park in Vancouver, BC was dependent on their proximity to areas of human activity.
I recently went to do some observations but the dandelions were gone, leading me to modify my hypothesis. I counted the abundance of English daisies (Bellis perennis) as well as other flowers instead.
With the help of my brother, I counted the number of English daisies, red clovers, white clovers, and dandelions in five 1m x 1m quadrats placed randomly in General Brock Park. I did not have any problems implementing my sampling design.
