Woodlot Diversity Lab Report

265 Words2 Pages

In this experiment, I asked the following question: Does diversity of trees in the woodlot varies based on locations in the woodlot? I predicted that trees were more diverse at near the edge than in the interior. Specifically, trees near the edge had access to plenty of light, and exotic plants are most rampant near edge (Bartuszevige,). I expected the woodlot was less diverse. The reason is that the woodlot’s area is small, so the conditions for species do not vary dramatically; only certain adaptable species can flourish. Moreover, I expected to find small plants near the edge and tall trees near the interior because the tall-tree canopy prevented small plants from receiving light to grow near the interior.
The Point Quarter Method was used

  • Burns Bog Field Study

    587 Words  | 3 Pages

    Burns Bog is a domed bog which is approximately 3000 hectares in size and is mostly covered by peat. Under this peat, is a layer of deltaic sand which was deposited from the creation of the Fraser River over 5000 years ago (Comprehensive Guide to Burns Bog). This was when the Fraser River was a low wetland and as flooding occurred, sediments were carried and accumulated. Over the past 150 years, dykes and draining changes have impacted the vegetation (more dryer plants). This is a reason why only two-thirds of the bog remains today.

  • Cosmopolitan Canopy Research Papers

    628 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are cities, like Philadelphia, that as time passes they start to grow in size and population as a result they have to create recreational places. As years go by, people start to interact more in recreational places until they become a cosmopolitan canopy. According to the book “The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life” by Elijah Anderson, a cosmopolitan canopy is a place that provides opportunities for new relationships to develop and where people come together to socialize and practice getting along with others. In this reading, Anderson also explains that a cosmopolitan canopy is not just created by the place itself or by the diversity of ethnicity, gender, and social class in and around it but also by the “goodwill that is expressed and experienced by most who enter these premises” (Anderson 11). Personally, I agree with Anderson because in order for something to become a cosmopolitan canopy, there has to be difference on the people in it.

    The soil had visibly changed from a moist black organic soil to a much dryer lighter in color sandy consistency. The canopy changed as well, more oaks and elm trees were present and the buttressing of the tree trunks was significantly reduced. The magnolia tree was also starting to be introduced into the area, another indicator that the habitat was moving away from the wetter locations. The cabbage palm, being the primary species of understory is fairly easy to locate in the temperate hardwood habitat. This plant covered the forest floor and seemed to act a divider between the pine flatwoods and

    Due to the excessive amount of pollutions produced by human activities, the average life expectancy of a tree planted in downtown is only 5 to 10 years. The sapling needs nutrition-rich soil to hold fertilizer and water, which, in the typical situation in the downtown area, the barren and compact soil often do not give sprouts enough air and space to thrive. Therefore, in order to achieve an ecologically sustainable urban park, Cormier has to withdraw the traditional thinking on tree planting in Montreal. Cormier and his team came up with a strategy that is both innovative and original.
