Field Research Reflections
I had a lot of fun creating the study design and collecting field data. I’m happy I was able to finish the task earlier in July, before it was extremely…
Graph
I made a couple of graphs for the final research paper. I made one histogram showing the average midrange native plant cover class of my five replicates for each distance…
Observing bird species abundance in connection time of day
Collecting data once I decided how I was going to divide up the location proved to be a little challenging. I love birds but it can be difficult to identify…
Theoretical Perspectives
The theoretical basis of my research project is mostly about human impact in high-use areas of protected areas, like park roads. Basically, my hypothesis is that the closer to the…
Lagoon Data
