The data collection process was not only interesting but also challenging. The existence of numerous tree species both of which are springing and the grown ones made the process rather challenging. Getting to the field or the area of study was not as hard. However, studying the different species of trees and classifying them to ensure a seamless data collection process was rather hectic than earlier presumed. During the data collection, some trees were cut down and there were new species that had been planted with the area. These two variations brought some challenges in the sampling and data collection processes. Apart from these small hiccups, the data collection was effective and the sampling method worked well as postulated during the sampling strategies. The sampling method was not rigid but rather flexible hence allowing for in house variations such as including the new species that had been planted. Movement of people within the region and the changes in the climate could affect the species of the plans making them become more endangered or even causing deforestation to obtain more space for both residential and office purposes. The sampling process is effective hence I would still use the same structure for more research and data collection on the case study.
