  1. Moss Diversity in the Kohala Forest By: AolaniPeiper, Brianna Vallente, and Madelyn Mumbert

  2. Experimental Question What is the difference between lower elevation mosses and higher elevation mosses in the rainforest? • Hypothesis If we test mosses in different elevations then the mosses will have more diversity as we get higher because the higher you go the wetter it is.

  3. Materials And Procedures Materials • Quadrant • Pencil • Lab (data table) • Clip board • Calculator • Camera Procedures • At every hundred feet starting at 4700, we will take 3 samples. • Take the quadrant, in that square count the number of different species of moss. • Record results in data table • Repeat this cycle for 5 more elevations • Record averages per elevation

  4. Total Number Of Moss Species In Different Elevations

  5. Total Number Of Moss Species In Different Elevations

  6. Conclusion • Our hypothesis was supported because there was more diversity at the highest elevation. • Improvements: • Instead of randomly sampling, put the entire quadrant over 100% moss so we have more accurate data. • Study the mosses more, to ensure accurate identification
