The purpose of this investigation is to modify the experiment of starfield sampling and classify the statistically significant differences in soil moisture in two different sclerophyll forest sites. Soil moisture is the amount of water, including water vapour, stored in an unsaturated soil, influencing factors like natural factors like precipitation, temperature, and vegetation. Common levels of human distancing, like pollution, heavy transportation, and vehicular pollution, can contaminate soil, affecting its ability to retain water, and deforestation and removal of vegetation can decrease soil levels, as well as restrict water levels, so they can have a direct and indirect impact on soil moisture. A hypothesis is that higher human disturbance in the site will result in less soil moisture (%) due to soil erosion and decreased water retention compared to no human disturbance. make this better does this look like ai wrtten?

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of human disturbance on soil moisture levels in two different sclerophyll forest sites. Soil moisture plays a crucial role in the health and sustainability of ecosystems, as it affects nutrient availability, plant growth, and overall ecosystem function. Through this experiment, we aim to determine if higher levels of human disturbance result in lower soil moisture levels due to factors such as soil erosion, decreased water retention, and changes in vegetation patterns.

To conduct this investigation, soil samples will be collected from both sites and analyzed for their moisture content. Statistical analysis will be used to compare the soil moisture levels between the two sites and determine if there are any significant differences that can be attributed to human disturbance.

It is hypothesized that the site with higher levels of human disturbance will have lower soil moisture levels compared to the site with minimal human impact. This hypothesis is based on the understanding that human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and land development can have detrimental effects on soil health and water retention.

By gaining a deeper understanding of the relationship between human disturbance and soil moisture, we can better inform land management practices and conservation efforts to preserve the health and integrity of sclerophyll forest ecosystems.
