I have inventory data set of vascular plants using systematic distribution and two data sets for large mammal species, 1. camera trap data set and 2. rangers' SMART patrol data set. My objectives are;
1. to find relationship between species richness of vascular plants and large mammals
2. to compare distribution of 3 herbivores in different species richness of vascular plants and forest composition (structure, density, canopy coverage, etc.)
Correlation and ANOVA are good approaches to know the inter-relationship and variations
