There are 8 steps:   Have (or set) goals.  Clarify the ecological objectives.  Set the scope of your project.  Gather existing information.  Choose the sampling unit and measurement technique.  Create the sampling plan.  Conduct the field work.  Organize and analyze the data. To illustrate how this works, I will use the example of growing GotuKola. GotuKola is like a grassy weed which people eat that is healthy for your body and mind. Gotu Kola's native habitat is that it grows naturally in moist, swampy areas.   1. Set Goals There are long-term goals, and there are immediate, single-choice goals.
