Abstract:

Reseachers conducted an expirement to determine the effects of different plant species on the biodiversity of ants. Researchers used three different locations such as their backyards, bay park, and grant park which are all located in Nassau County. The independent variables the researchers will use are fields, trees, and bushes. The researchers hypothesised that if there are more fields, than the biodiversity of the ants will be higher
