Reflections on Conducting Field Research
As my field research project draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the entire process, from the initial design of the experiment to its execution and the insights…
Insights from Data
I recently completed an intensive phase of data collection. This effort resulted in a detailed dataset capturing observations from three distinct urbanization levels: Riverside Park (high urban), Peterson Creek (medium…
Sampling Strategies
In total, 7 different tree species (Eastern Hemlock, Sweet Birch, Yellow Birch, Chestnut Oak, Red Maple, Striped Maple, and White Pine) were identified using three different sampling techniques (systematic distance,…
Field Observations
Field observations were recorded in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg, MB on August 12th, 2024 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. The organism I planned to study were bees in the park…
Field Research Reflections.
Upon reflection of my field research experience, the keep ability or adjustability to respond to any other unexpected situation was learned, just like in the case of rain. Despite this,…
Tables and Graphs
During the analysis of my data on soil moisture and leaf length, several limitations, notably missing data points, were identified. However, by applying interpolation techniques, I was able to uncover…
Theoretical Perspectives
The research will fall under the ecosystem ecology paradigm and focus on an analysis of how these three aspects interplay. A saga in this study will be my hypothesis: ecological…
Data Collection
Field data collection was recently done on the testing of 10 replicates across a 1200-meter garden. I was supposed to source soil moisture data from the garden, which could be…
Design Reflections
Upon commencing the collection of preliminary data for my Module 3 research project, I was very excited to apply my sampling strategy. However, it soon emerged that implementing my plan…
