The Impact of ORVs on Species Diversity
Testing Sites:
Location 1: Area where ORVs are not allowed.
Location 2: Area where ORVs are allowed.
Observation
When comparing the two sites, we noticed…
• The site not allowing ORVs had substantially more vegetation, than the area allowing ORVs.
• More different types of species were easily spotted in the first location, making us question whether the ORVs had an impact on the environment.
Procedure and Research
Mark a plot of 400 sq meters for both test sites.
In the designated plot, search for every different type of plant species
living in the area.
Then put into a plastic bag, making sure to label which site
that it came from.
