For my figure, I used Excel to create a bar chart representing mean percent cover for each of the three stratifications of my study area. I used error bars to depict standard error and tried to keep the visuals as simple and clear as possible.

I am fairly well versed in Excel, so I didn’t run into too much trouble with creating the figure. I was surprised to see my data line up quite well with my prediction. I have yet to conduct statistical analysis of the data, so it remains to be determined if my results are significant.
