Hi,

I was wondering if I can pick two sites that are relatively close to each other but survey them in different years. Would they be independent/not spatially correlated? For my study, sites are at least 250 m apart to ensure independence but would it be ok if some of my new sites are closer to my old sites (maybe 50-100 m away from the old sites) for next year? The new sites will still be at least 250 m away from each other.

Thank you!
