Blog Post 9: Field Research Reflections
Reflecting on my field research, this project was a valuable learning experience. Initially, I faced challenges related to variability in human activity and the complexity of measuring environmental factors like soil moisture. These issues required me to adjust my research design and refine my data collection methods.
Through this process, I learned the importance of flexibility in research and the need to consider multiple variables when studying ecological interactions. The hands-on experience reinforced theoretical concepts and deepened my appreciation for the complexities of ecological research.
Overall, this project taught me the value of adapting to unforeseen challenges and the iterative nature of scientific inquiry. I’m grateful for the insights gained and look forward to applying them in future research.
