In this research project I examined why there are fewer trees present closer to the creek located at fishtrap creek park. There could be many reasons with ecological explanations to…
Data Collection
For my data collection I created 5 transect lines each 80 meters long. The transect line started from the area closest to the creek which I called 0 meters and…
Insights from Field Observations
I focused on observing the presence of common ravens across different points within the first location selected at the lowest elevation in my research work. The table represents my findings,…
Reflections on data collection for 5 replicates
My hypothesis is that my object of study is more abundant in some areas than others because of differences in soil moisture content across the environmental gradient. The initial set…
Tables and Graphs
I started with a table to organize the data as the grid formation I had used for my sample transects transferred easily to a table format. A table allowed me…
Post 8: Tables and Graphs of 6 Sites and 5 Transects: Sweet Chestnut Trees and Wildlife
The only difficulty I had was in determining what graph would suit my study best, I had at first thought of a bar graph to examine if there was consistency…
Post 9: Field Research Reflections and Project as a Whole
What started as a small-scale investigation quickly expanded into a community-wide exploration, ultimately leading me to delve into the intricate dynamics of temperature shifts and their correlation with the silent…
Exploring Theoretical Perspectives: Understanding Wildlife Presence around Sweet Chestnut Trees
In the aim of understanding the relationship between nature and it’s inhabitants, my research delves into the relationship of wildlife and the seasonal development of a sweet chestnut tree. The…
Exploring the Theoretical Basis of My Research Project
In my research project, I am investigating how the distribution of common ravens (Corvus corax) is influenced by elevation gradients in the Golden, B.C. area. This investigation is grounded in…
