What is Analyzing the Species Area Curve about?

The document describes a lab where students sample plant species in increasing square meter areas of a school lawn to create a species area curve. Students mark out 1 square meter plots and record the plant species found. They do this up to 4 square meters to observe how the number of new species found levels off. They graph their cumulative area sampled vs. cumulative new species found. This allows them to estimate the total number of plant species in the school lawn. Their data and map notes are analyzed
