Biology

Aim: to investigate the biodiversity of the plant species around West Lake and compare the biodiversity of two areas, Area 1 with species near the high wall, and Area 2 with species near the shore, using the Simpson's Diversity Index

Hypothesis: if the Simpson's index is calculated for the Area 1 with species near the high wall to Area 2, then the biodiversity of the plant species in Area 2 would be more diverse since there are more soil near the shore area which means that there is more minerals for plants to grow, more moisture as well as less erosion that would be damaging to the plants

Equipment needed: A pair of rubber boots 2 40cm quadrants 2 nets 2 pairs of rubber gloves
