My chosen study area is King’s Park Winnipeg, Manitoba. A regional park with land area of 37.4 ha. Visited on July 13th at 3:30pm during the summer for my first survey, it rained the same day. it was 20 degrees Celsius and windy. It has mowed lawns and well kept fields with trees and structures. (this is a grassland, grass is short) More forest like areas occur closer to the river that runs through Winnipeg, the river borders one side of the park. Topography is mostly flat with slight hills.
Possible research projects:
Abundance and presence of white clover relative to habitat?
Presence and absence of a tiny frog species depending on distance to river?
Possible effects of frequent human visits on grass, compare frequently visited areas with less visited?
sounds like a good area
you have made some observations of some interesting elements!
is the grassland a true prairie grassland or mowed grass? unclear from description
