Do areas with more plant species also attract more animal species? Plants sit at the base of the food web. They also provide shelter for other organisms. This project tests whether richer plant communities support richer animal communities. You mark out plots in two different habitats. One has few plant types, like a grass lawn. The other has many, like a forest edge or wildflower field. You observe and count every species in each plot using a magnifying lens. Compare your species counts to see whether plant variety predicts animal variety.
