Theoretical Perspectives – McNeill Bay
My research is focused on understanding the influence of the sea wall and multiple drainage sites on barnacle abundance at McNeill Bay. The theoretical basis for my work is that…
Ongoing Field Data Collections
Today I returned to McNeill Bay to continue my data collection. It had been raining the past few days but had stopped for my trip and the weather was cloudy…
Field Research Reflections
I started the research project with working on lichen growth and its association with sunlight. The implementation of sampling method was not that tricky but presence of snow during…
Sampling strategies
The three sampling strategies used in the virtual forest tutorial were Systematic, Random, and Haphazard, using the area-based method. Timewise, the Systematic method was the most efficient by 1 hour….
Mosquito Creek Park – Field Research Refections
My final field project ended up following a very similar design to what was planned at the beginning of this journey, however a few things had to be changed as…
Mosquito Creek Park – Tables and Graphs
Below are my tables and graph that represent some results of my study. The graph that is shown below represents the relationship between elevation and population density of Vinca Minor….
Summary table of bird species richness in three different CWH forest age classes
I opted to create a table (see Table 1 below) to collate my data collection. I note that the tutorial indicated figures are preferred but in this case, I think…
Theoretical Perspectives – Mosquito Creek Park
Mosquito Creek Park study is focused on the population density of the Vinca Minor and what environmental factors may an affect on the number of flowers present. When considering the…
Desierto de Los Leones National Park Ongoing Field Observations
During my second visit to the site, I focused on the first question from Post #1 by observing how mountain rose distribution varies with elevation. I went to Desierto…
Table and Graphs
The information that I collected during my field research, lichen abundance on trees was tricky to summarize because I had check to whether there is presence or absence of lichen…
