Volunteer Plants

Submitted by cslavin on Fri, 03/22/2019 - 16:40

Volunteer plants are plants that grow in addition to planted plants. In potted plants there appears to be a greater diversity of volunteer plants. When multiple plants are potted in soil togther, there appears to only be one continuous volunteer plant throughout the soil. While observing a few different species of trees, we were wondering if there was more growth of these volunteer plants in individually potted plants or plants that are potted together. Does one type of volunteer species grow at a faster rate than others? To study this we could measure the growth of each volunteer species at the end of each week and see which has the largest growth. We could also compare the growth of the volunteer species in individal potted plants to the growth in plants plotted together.
