The duration of the sunlight almost 14 hours daylight during the study period and there was little variation in temperature near and 10meter distance from path ways.  Only 0.7 (º C) differences were observed at 10cm below the ground inside the lake. Quadrats that were away from the path had a higher DS value demonstrating lower floral diversity compared to that of the quadrats near the path.
