title: [Woodlot Dataset 4] Comparing the DBH of adult maples to nearby maple saplings

description: The data was collected on Tuesday 23, 2014, at roughly 4:00 PM. The location was the Danby Woods at the York University Campus (Keele location.) At the time, it was 22°C (Source: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/monthly/canada/ontario/toronto) and it was a mildly windy day. To collect the required data, large, adult maple trees were located. The criteria for adult maple trees were that they must have a trunk circumference of at least 15 cm. Their circumference (at breast heigh) was measured using a tape measure (in cm, to a precision of 0.1cm) and recorded. The foliage coverage was also recorded by standing near the trunk of the tree, making a frame using our hands and estimating the amount of visible sky, and subtracting said number from 100 to determine foliage coverage. To maintain consistency, only I recorded the circumference at breast height.<br>Next, maple saplings near the adult were located. The distance from the adult tree to the sapling was also recorded (in cm, to a precision of 0.1cm) The criteria for saplings were that they must have a circumfrence of less than 15cm.<br>The circumference of the maple saplings were recorded (in cm.) Again, to maintain consistency, only I measured the saplings at my breast heigh.<br>A total of 10 pairs (10 adult maples and 10 maple saplings) were collected, and the data was recorded.<br>DBH was measured using the circumference collected during the experiment.<br>The following equation was used: circumference = πd, where d refers to diameter. The collected circumference was divided by π to obtain the diameter of the trunk.

title: Data Collection of Adult and Sapling Silver Maple Trees in a Woodlot Region of York University

description: Researchers collected data on ten randomly selected adult Silver Maple trees and ten saplings of the same species (<em>Acer saccharinum) </em>from the woodlot region in Danby Woods located at York University. The saplings chosen to utilize were the ones that were the closest to the adult tree in the vicinity of the study. Saplings are to be less than or equal to twice the height of the researcher. For each adult tree and sapling, the diameter at breast height (dbh) was determined using transect measuring tapes, this measurement was recorded in centimeters. The distance between the sapling and the adult tree was also determined using transect measuring tapes and this value was recorded in meters. The canopy coverage was determined by making a square with the index finger and thumb of both hands and using that as a quadrat to estimate the percentage that is covered by the tree's foliage.

title: Grassland Dataset 2: Belt Transect

description: Methods: 20m of transect tape was run in a straight line in a random section of grassland. As one walked along the transect tape, any thistle species found within arm's length of either side of the tape was spotted and assigned a number. The longitudinal distance along the tape at which the plant's base was found, was recorded in metres. Then the plant's height from the base, along the stem, to the top of the heighest leaf was recorded in metres. Next the number of leaves on the whole plant was counted carefully (as to not prick oneself too much) and recorded. The number of flowers growing anywhere on the plant were also counted and recorded. Lastly, the area immediately surrounding the plant was rated from 0-3 on approximately how crowded with vegetation it was, and was recorded as well. Once the data was obtained, the experimenter walked along the tape to find the next thistle within arm's length, to repeat the same measurement process.

title: Plant height, fullness, and crowdedness of Silybum marianum.

description: Methods: A transect was laid down by a <em>Silybum marianum</em> and was stepped on in a straight line until it hit the next <em>S. marianum</em>. The height of each <em>S. marianum</em> was measured in centimetres from where the stem met the ground to the highest point on the plant using another transect and recorded. Next, the number of flowers and leaf bunches were counted and recorded per individual plant as well as a rating from 0-3 of plant crowdedness was recorded. Then the distance between each plant was measured along the transect in centimetres and recorded. This was repeated for the first 15 S. marianum (plants 1-15) and repeated again in another area of the grassland for another 10 S. marianum (plants 16-25). This data was collected in the grassland east of Stong Pond at approximately 4:30pm on Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

title: Adult Tree DBH, Distance, & Condition at York University

description: Method: On September 23, 2014, our Ecology lab group, led by our teacher assistant Taylor Noble, split up into 3 groups. After walking to the grassland and woodlot area of York University – Keele Campus, each group was responsible for collecting 4 datasets. The grassland and woodlots were still in fairly good condition, given the time of year, and there were many plants and trees to study. Our group members were Jason, Coleen, Leeron, Zainab and Sanaz. The following dataset is for the third dataset collected. In this dataset, a transect was placed on the ground through the woodlot beginning at a random adult tree observed. Adult trees were identified if the height of the tree was approximately twice Sanaz’s height of approximately 160cm. For each adult tree, the distance between the trees and the diameter breast height (dbh) of the trunk were measured in centimeters using a second transect measuring tape. These measurements were taken by the same person and recorded. The condition of each adult tree was also ranked from 0 – 2 by group members, and recorded. If the condition of the tree was dead, it was ranked 0, if it was living, it was ranked 1, and if it had a huge green canopy, it was ranked 2. In total 10 adult trees were observed and the above-mentioned measurements were recorded for each.

title: BIOL 2050 - LAB 2: WOODLOT DATASET 3. Distance between pair of adult trees with their dbh and condition

description: <strong>Data collected by:</strong> David, Jessie, Mark, Martina, Patrick <strong>Data collected on:</strong> September 23, 2014 <strong>Methods:</strong> Data was collected from Danby Woods at the west of the Chimney Stack Parking Lot found in the north-west direction of York University Keele Campus. A transect tape was used to measure a straight line about 58ft. Trees 10ft and higher were considered to be adult trees for this experiment. Five pairs of adult trees (random species) were sampled along the 58ft long transect line. For each pair, the first tree was measured within an arm's length (about ~2.5ft on each side of the line) from the transect line and the second tree measured was the closest to the first tree. The distance between the pair of trees, diameter at breast height (dbh) of each tree and the condition of each tree were recorded. <strong>Distance between pairs of tree:</strong> Measured in metres using a transect tape from the base of one (outer) end of the first tree to the other (outer) end of the second tree. <strong>Diameter at breast height (dbh):</strong> Measured using the transect tape in centimetres. The length of the diameter of each tree was measured at breast height (about ~4ft) by placing the tape parallel to the diameter line of the tree. <strong>Condition:</strong> The condition of each tree was noted on a scale of 0 to 2 in which 0 = dead, 1 = living with visible amount of wilted (empty) branches, 2= huge green canopy with no visible empty branches.

title: Woodlot Silver Maple Leaf Species

description: The selected group of 4 partners were Kristine Georgilopoulos-Gulli, Yu Xiao, Naz Naji and Winnie Zhao along with the class headed out the woodlot and grasslands by Chimneystack Rd. on the York University Campus. We further broke down the assignment to 2 people per group and the people who were responsible for this data set were Kristine Georgilopoulos-Gulli (to be referred to as Lab partner 1) and Winnie Zhao (to be referred to as Lab partner 2). The temperature was approximately 24 degree celcius and the woodlot was generally dry. During this time we randomly selected adult Silver Maple Leaf tree species and recorded the DBH (diameter of breast height) of the tree as well as its canopy cover. In addition to this we measured the distance in metres to the closest sapling and measured the DBH (diameter of breast height) of the sapling as well. This was repeated on 10 occasions during the 2 hours that we were in the woodlot. Based on the data collected it appears that saplings are located &gt;5 metres away from the adult tree.
