Nature Watchers: Plants and Animals Relationship Study
The Nature Watchers, a group of young scientists, conducted a citizen science project to explore the relationship between plant and animal abundance in an area. Through measuring and observing quadrats, they found that the number and variety of animals increased with the number and variety of plants. Interestingly, the total number of animals decreased as the total number of individual plants increased. This study highlights the intricate connections between plant and animal populations in ecosystems.

The Nature Watchers: 3rd-5th Grade Young Scientists Ella, Insee, Isaac, Luck, Marsha, Noemi, Riley, Sam, Sylvan, Theo and Zeke
The Nature Watchers Citizen Science Project What is the relationship between the abundance of plants and the abundance of animals? How do the kinds and numbers of plants influence or affect the kinds and numbers of animals in an area? Participants measured and observed 1 X 1 square meter quadrats to quantify plants and animals Five participants contributed data
The number of kinds of animals increased with the greater number of kinds of plants observed
The number of kinds of animals increased with the greater number of kinds of plants observed Total number of animals found in an area decreased as the total number of individual plants found in an area increased
The number of kinds of animals increased with the greater number of kinds of plants observed Total number of animals found in an area decreased as the total number of individual plants found in an area increased Total number of kinds of insects, mammals and reptiles increased with increasing number of kinds of plants
The number of kinds of animals increased with the greater number of kinds of plants observed Total number of animals found in an area decreased as the total number of individual plants found in an area increased Total number of kinds of insects, mammals and reptiles increased with increasing number of kinds of plants Total number of kinds of birds decreased with increasing number of kinds of plants Total number of kinds of birds decreased with increasing number of kinds of shrubs
The Nature Watchers Thank You for your participation and interest in their project!
