It is also a center of import and export, with many products, ships, and people coming in and out of its waters. With this comes more opportunities for non-native species to invade these parks. Using bioblitz data along with official invasive species lists from the state, we found what percentage of the species observed in the parks were invasive, looking to find some sort of locational correlation or trend. Our findings do not support or reject the original hypothesis, and the results are too uncorrelated tomake any concrete conclusions. Although we were unable to find a solid answer to the question of how location impacts the proportions of invasive species in New York City parks, finding the proportions themselves still has significance. By creating a baseline for invasive species amounts throughout these parks, future researchers will be able to measure how invasive species have grown or shrunk in proportion to total species in an area over time. By understanding these proportions, the city of New York can make decisions on which parks require more efforts in maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/12\/Steam-Festival-Final-Poster.pdf\">View Project<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\">\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group Members: Shameel Khandokar, Jake Yashayev, Maxim Korobov New York City is an urban environment that houses many hubs of nature in its biggest parks.
