Highland Pond Polygons (upperponds)

 4 transects around single pond (Highland Pond) running N, S, E and W. The zones in this study refer to foliar mat cover (and were correlated with distance from the pond). Zone 1 was 0-10m from pond, zone 2 10-30m, zone 3 ~20-80m and zone 4 >80m. Three reps were taken from each “zone” in each transect for a total of 48 samples.
