    I. IntroductionPlants play a vital role in life on Earth. There are many types of plant species, which can be distinguished by leaf shape, flower and petal size (Cope et al. 2012). Kent and Cooker (1992) stated that plant identification through special characteristics and physiological structure that taxonomic nomenclature applied to botanical flora. Quadrat surveys carried out around the University of Greenwich in Medway, which aimed to identify the plant in an area of ​​grassland and invertebrate. Grasslands are relatively simple because their soil is structured unlike the complexity of woodlands and they are more likely to have a greater intensity of dispersed organic matter than forest soils (Curry, 1994). The objective of this study is to classify plant characteristics, vegetation types and the dynamic environment of the plant. In addition, some characteristics of invertebrate populations and the causes of their presence will also be discussed.2. MethodologyBased on this observation, the researcher will establish six quadrats (size approximately 50 cm x 50 cm) randomly (Figure 1) to determine a sample of surface vegetation zones and measure the presence of invertebrates. A camera used to take photos and carry out surveys conducted in early November in the fall.3. Identification of the organism 3.1 Quadrats 1 and 2: In the center of the lawn in front of Pembroke, according to the survey, this area was dominated by grass (Figure 1). In this quadrat, the researcher will identify plants, flowers and mushrooms. Curry (1994) stated that weather conditions have an effect on grassland growth and soil properties. Figure 1.

Additionally, opposite the south end of the Grenville Building (quadrat 4), due to plant debris and woody litter from the fall season, are the perfect areas for invertebrates, hymenoptera and leeches; such as Arthopoda Armadillidium vulgare (order Isopoda), the mushrooms Mycena ascendens (Lasch) Geest and the honey bees (Apis mellifera L). In addition, in the vegetated area north of the Pembroke lawn (quadrat 5), mushrooms and moss play their role; for example, Russula sororia (Fr.) Romell, Inocybe fastigiata (Schaeff,:Fr.) Quel and the mosses Eurynchium praelongum. Finally, in the vegetated area to the southwest of the Pembroke lawn (quadrat 6) we find the flower Gerranium robertianum, the herbs Petroselinum segetum which are capable of identification. In summary, weather conditions, temperature, humidity and organic matter influence different types of plants and the presence of invertebrates..
