Abstract:

Our study will investigate the species composition and interactions between ant species on the roof garden at Marymount School of New York. This experiment will answer the question of how the plant and ant biodiversity on the garden roof compare to those of Central Park. We hypothesize that the roof garden will have less biodiversity than Central Park due to the less diverse range of plants.
