Sampling Strategies.
Community: Mohn Mill I chose 3 sampling strategies in the Mohn Mill Area: The distance systematic technique proved to be the most time-efficient, requiring only 12 hours and 35 minutes…
Sampling Strategies
I am using the three sample strategies from the Virtual Forest Tutorial. I looked at three different sample strategies: area random, area systematic, and area haphazard. Data from the Snyder-Middleswarth…
Ongoing Field Observation
The park, despite being a single entity, presents two distinct landscapes. One area is characterized by its oceanic features, teeming with a variety of sea creatures. In contrast, the other…
Theoretical Perspectives
The theoretical basis of my experiment is the competitive establishment of two invasive aggressive weeds after human disturbance of bare land within a gravel pit. My hypothesis is that the…
Ongoing Field Observations
I have decided to concentrate my study on examining the state and discoloration of the needles on Blue Spruce trees in my study location. The distinctive blue-green needles of blue…
Frost damage measured by electrolyte leakage in subarctic bryophytes increases with climate warming
van Zuijlen, K., Kassel, M., Dorrepaal, E., & Lett, S. (2024). Frost damage measured by electrolyte leakage in subarctic bryophytes increases with climate warming. Journal of Ecology, 112, 220–232. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.14236 It would likely classify as an “Academic, peer-reviewed research article The title of…
Observations
My Observation Location: Flat Grassy lawn with blue spruce ( tree) cover The location begins as I get out from the back of my building in Winnipeg, MB, coordinates; 49.826758,…
Field Research Reflections
A couple of the challenges I encountered with the research project were that I was collecting too many different species; however, since you suggested that I focus on uplands, marshes,…
Virtual Forest Sampling Strategies
Systematic, random, and haphazard area-sampling methods were used in the virtual tutorial to sample the forest community of Snyder-Middleswarth State Park. Systematic sampling was the most efficient, with the fastest…
Observation in Riverside Park
My location of choice is in Riverside Park, on the south side of the Thompson River in Kamloops, BC. GPS coordinates are 50.6784°N, 120.3369°W. Starting from the river, which has…
