Exploring Crow Behaviour Across Elevations
In quest to unravel the mysteries of crow behaviour across different elevations, I embarked on an exciting field data collection journey. My study aims to understand how elevation variations influence…
Final Post
It was incredibly satisfying to conduct my own research and compile a final report. My study focused on green ash ornamental trees and specifically examined how sunlight affected moss growth…
Sampling Design Reflections
Blog Post #5 Design Reflections Having finished taking the first five replicate samples for my project, I can honestly say it is not as easy as I had originally thought…
Reflections on data collection
Implementing the sampling strategy posed some difficulties initially. One challenge was selecting the appropriate sampling technique for my study subject, which involved observing crow behaviour along an elevation gradient. I…
Comparative analysis of three different sampling strategies used in virtual forest tutorial
Three different sampling strategies were used in the virtual forest tutorial.The results of percentage errors in each one are provided in the table below Random Systematic Haphazard Red Maple…
Table and Graphs Analysis
There wasn’t quite a challenge when it came to making a graph; mine was particularly a scatter plot. I obtained a range of data, from which I decided to draw…
Theoretical Perspectives
The hypothesis of my research posits that sunlight exposure significantly influences moss growth on green ash trees. I aim to investigate the dynamics of moss growth on green ash trees,…
Common Raven Distribution Along an Elevation Gradient
In my ongoing field research, I’ve chosen to study the distribution of the common raven (Corvus corax) along an elevation gradient in the Golden area. Ravens are fascinating birds known…
Sources of Scientific Information
The source of ecological information I have chosen is a research paper titled ” Introduced and invasive species in novel rangeland ecosystems: friends or foes? ” published in the Rangeland Ecology…
Field Observations in Golden,B.C.
For my field study, I chose to observe the Rotary Trail, a popular hiking and biking trail that winds along the Kicking Horse River in Golden, B.C. The study area…
