Sampling Techniques in a virtual forest
The three sampling strategies used in the virtual forests sampling theory exercise were systematic, random and haphazard. I utilized the area-based method with the other option being distance. Results are…
Anthropogenic change and conservation
The main theoretical idea that underpins my research is that human use negatively impacts ecological communities. Further, conservation is necessary to protect ecologically important regions, especially if we want to…

I am studying the impact of trampling on the growth pattern of American sea rocket, Cakile edentula, at Airforce Beach in the Comox Valley. I chose…
Design Reflections
May 29, 2022. Sunday, 16 °C. Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I discovered two area with different altitudes by 1m × 1m quadrats, and I separated the quadrats to ten 10cm…
Theoretical Perspectives – Stockley Open Park
My hypothesis predicts that non-native plants will be more prevalent near a linear disturbance. The results of this research may give some insight into the cumulative effects of anthropogenic disturbance,…
