Post 3: Ongoing Field Observations
1. The organism I plan to study is the killdeer (Charadruis vociferus) in my study area. I am curious about the abundance of this organism in my yard based on…
Low summer flows and Chinook salmon productivity
The article I chose is about changes to Chinook salmon productivity in the Nicola River correlated to low summer flows. It turns out that recommended flow rates previously in place…
Lac du Bois Grasslands Observations
The area I have chosen to complete my research is Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area in Kamloops, BC. Although I work in Fisheries, I am interested in vegetation and…
Sources of Scientific Information – The Conversation
My selected scientific source is An epic global study of moss reveals it is far more vital to Earth’s ecosystems than we knew, published in The Conversation.
Observations – Horth Hill
My chosen area of study is Horth Hill Regional Park, in North Saanich, BC. The 36-hectare park is a forested mountain slope, approximately 130 m in elevation. This coastal temperate…
Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies
The virtual forest sampling theory exercise provided insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the different sampling techniques you can use in the field. I have provided a summary of…
post 9: field research reflections
In my field research on the effects of temperature on the growth of kale, I have gained a lot of new knowledge and points for reflection. First with the study…
post 8: tables and graphs
Since my initial tables and experimental purposes were relatively simple, I didn’t have too many difficulties when I made the graphs. But I think my data needs to be supplemented,…
post 7: theoretical perspectives
My research target is mainly the interaction between Kale growth rate and temperature. The theoretical basis of my research is the growth cycle of plants and the availability of nutrients…
Post 6: data collection
I sampled 15 Kale in total. There are 5 Kales in each of the 3 different temperatures (10 degrees, 25 degrees, and 40 degrees). Each Kale will be measured at…
