In this experiment, I asked the following question: Does diversity of trees in the woodlot varies based on locations in the woodlot? I predicted that trees were more diverse at near the edge than in the interior. Specifically, trees near the edge had access to plenty of light, and exotic plants are most rampant near edge (Bartuszevige,). I expected the woodlot was less diverse. The reason is that the woodlot’s area is small, so the conditions for species do not vary dramatically; only certain adaptable species can flourish. Moreover, I expected to find small plants near the edge and tall trees near the interior because the tall-tree canopy prevented small plants from receiving light to grow near the interior.
