Post 5: Design Reflections
While collecting my data I did not experience any issues or unforeseen challenges. What surprised me the most is that I did not see a more pronounced / obvious distribution…
Post 9 Field Research Reflections
My study design initially seemed simple but the implementation came with challenges I did not expect. One major issue was the extreme weather conditions when collecting data. Manitoba’s winter can…
Post 4: Sampling Strategies
Systematic: sampling along a topographic gradient was the fastest with a total time 12 hours and 5 minutes. Most common species were eastern hemlock and sweet birtch. Two rarest species…
Ongoing Field Observations
Date: January 19, 2024 Weather: Sunny with clouds. Minimal precipitation over the last seven days with temperature during the site visit recorded at 4 celcius. The organism I have chosen…

Blog Post 9: Field Research Reflections
While the initial experimental design seemed straightforward, its implementation presented several unexpected challenges. Fieldwork days were marked by unpredictable weather, with heavy rain at times saturating even the lower moisture…
Post 1 Observations: Renfrew Ravine Park
The location I selected to observe for my research project is the northern end of the Renfrew Ravine Park (the Site) in East Vancouver. This blog post is based on…
Blog Post 8: Tables and Graphs
When I was making a table, I found that I collected a lot of useless or similar data, which made it more difficult for me to organize my table. So…
Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
Theoretical Basis The foundation of this research lies in the principles of community ecology, particularly the idea that abiotic factors, such as soil moisture, act as environmental filters that influence…
Blog Post 6: Data Collection
So far, data collection has been going smoothly. Since I added visual measurement to my new experimental design, I could only collect data on sunny days. The environment here is…
