<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I am Jessica Langguth, an undergraduate Plant Biology student at Ohio University. I have been using the "<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Forest Inventory of a Northern Hardwood Forest: Watershed 6, 2012, Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest" data (from <a href="https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=knb-lter-hbr.150.2" class="OWAAutoLink">https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=knb-lter-hbr.150.2</a>) to practice statistical analyses in Rstudio. </span></p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I generated the following graph of Shannon Diversity at plots of different elevations:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><img size="23118" tabindex="0" style="width: 603px; height: 400.493px; user-select: none;" id="503853_rs|3" data-outlook-trace="F:1|T:1" src="cid:7fc2c278-4b8c-4523-9e5b-d4fa9c593566"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I was surprised to see such an increase in diversity at high elevations, especially given the downwards slope of the data in the 500-750m range. Do you have any knowledge of Watershed 6 or its ecosystem type that might
explain this increase in diversity?</p>
