# Choosing Two Nested Plot Sites

Part of the Plant Science Merit Badge Digital Resource Guide: [Introduction & Overview](https://merit-badge.university/merit-badges/plant-science/guide/index.md)

*8. Option C — Field Botany*

> **8c6c1.** Visit two sites, at least one of which is different from the one you visited for Field Botany requirement 1.

Choose two sites where the plant communities are different enough to compare. You might compare a wetter site to a drier one, a shaded site to a sunny one, or a disturbed site to a more natural one.

Because this method uses large and small plots together, make sure both sites are big enough and safe enough to mark clearly.
