Question

Title:

An Experimental Test of the Effect Adult Marsh Rush Plants (J. maritimus) Have On Seed Germination in an Upper and Lower Marsh.

General Hypothesis:

The presence of marsh rush (Juncus maritimus, a species of plant) adults has a positive effect on seed germination in the lower marsh (where the soil is really wet and salty) but inhibits seed germination in the upper marsh.

Proposed Methods:

In this section, you should describe all the steps it will take to do the study and collect the data you need. It’s also important to justify why you are going to do the study the way you propose.

Make sure your ‘proposed methods’ section is as complete as possible, with information on how many treatments, controls, variables, sample sizes, replicates, etc. If your experimental design is complicated, I highly recommend making a table to show the different treatments, etc. Be sure to also include information about the timing of your study – when are you going to do this? How long will it take? How will you collect and analyze the data?​

Answer 1

This experiment can be proceed in other set also where seed germination can be carried in presence of adult plants. Soil Concentration will be heigher in one set and Low in second set. Beacuse there are chances that the adult plants taking up the high salt concentaration and helping in seed germination in high salt concenration areas. But in low salt there is not adequate amount to germinate.
