Today we went to the trails to do our project. Firstly we found an ideal place which was flat at both sides of the trail and the concrete road. Then we put four chopsticks with strings around them on the soil so that it covered 1 meter square. Then we separated to several parts and we counted the individuals of different plant species within this 1 meter square. And we collected each kind of plants we discovered. Then we collected the soil sample and changed to another site. It turned out that different places had different kinds of plants and the soils were often different and that was what we were interested in.
In the afternoon, after we finished collecting samples of 4 sites and also controlled group, we asked Professor Chong to help us figure out all the names of the plants we found. And he was so helpful that finally we finished all the plant names.
At night, we moved to the wood villa and would stay there for two days.
