Objective: Identify if an environmental variable affects the plant community.

Question 1 (Trees):
Are trees afected by the change in slope?

Hypothesis 1: I believe that the trees that are in a biggers slope are going to have a thicker tronck.

Question 2 (frogs)

Hypothesis 2:
e a thicker tronck.
