Corridor

We have been looking at distribution, abundance and diversity in the plants of the east-west corridor (connecting the boundary of the school with the wildlife reserve) and the north-south corridor (along the far left boundary of the school). Data was collected in 10m by 10m quadrants, each quadrant 10 metres apart. Informantion was also collected regarding the soil pH and conductivity of each plot.
