Popis:	This study investigated the vascular flora diversity, seed bank composition, and physical parameters of the fen at Red-Tail Nature Preserve (RTNP) in Delaware County, Indiana for a better understanding of plant community composition. Data were collected from eighty sample points established on transects occurring in four sampling zones. The results of the study were subjected to detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) in order to analyze plant community data and to provide an indication of differences in community composition between the sampling zones. Results from DCA analysis were compared to physical parameter analysis of soil and water from each sampling zone to determine relationships between plant community types and environmental factors.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306 Department of Biology
