Plants of the genus Rhizophora live in complex environments in areas in which the base of the trees are typically covered with water for some or all of the time. The areas at the base of the Rizophora trees provide habitat for a wide array of young fish species. These young fish provide food for numerous waterbirds that live and nest in the area. An ecologist is comparing the number of different species that live in areas with two different varieties of Rhizophora. To study this, the ecologist finds 8 habitats dominated by Rhizophora species A, and 6 habitats dominated by Rhizophora species B and, through snorkeling and bird observations, counts the number of fish and bird species they see in each area. What kind of ecological study is described here.
