title: The affect of soil quality and number of plant species on number of insects

description: This experiment looked at how soil conditions and number of plant species affect the number of insects found in a specific area. This took place in the Danby Grassland at York University on October 12 and 19 2015 at around 2:30-5:30pm. On October 12, the temperature was roughly 11 degrees Celsius and the weather was overcast. On October 19, the temperature was roughly 14 degrees Celsius and the weather was cloudy with some rain. Group members include Michael, Phenil, myself and Nicole. My group members and I split into 2 groups. I worked with Michael while Nicole and Phenil worked together. Each day, we collected 60 replicates for a total of 120 over the 2 days. The transect belt was placed in a random spot for each replication. To ensure a proper random sample, a random number generator was used, ranging from 1 to 5, representing the number of steps. Beginning at the edge of the grassland and working our way inwards, we took however many steps the random number generator indicated. We then extended the transect belt to 20 meters. We extended a measuring tape to 1 meter and placed it perpendicular to the transect on any side. This indicated the range in which we would sweep net along the transect. Then, we began to sweep net the 20 meter transect for 2 minutes within the 1 meter range. The soil quality, number of plant species, number of insects and number of insect RTUs (recognizable taxonomic units) were recorded. The soil quality was determined using a scale ranging from 0 (lacking moisture) to 4 (very moist). The insect RTUs observed include: lady bug, grasshopper, spider, fly, beetle, caterpillar, snail, cricket, ant and mosquito. On the second day, the weather was rainy altering the soil conditions observed making them less accurate compared to the first day. Also, this affected the amount of insects found. Proper statistical analysis will need to be done in order to determine the affect of soil conditions and number of plant species on the number of insects.

title: Lab 4 - Experimental Design - The Abundance of Insects can be affected by the Condition and Size of Maple Trees

description: This experiment consisted of collecting data for two different days, one week apart. The first day was October 13, 2015 from, 2:57pm to 5:05pm and the weather consisted of 15°C with cloudy skies. The second day was October 20, 2015 from, 2:47pm to 4:53pm and the weather for this day consisted of 17°C with cloudy skies followed with a light drizzle of rain. The experiment took place at Danby Woods, York University in the woodlot area to test if the condition and size of a Maple tree can affect the abundance of insects in close proximity to the tree. Daniel, Markian, Bonnie, and Muhammad performed both days of the experiment. The woodlot terrain during the experiment consisted of yellow and orange leaves scattered everywhere around the ground with berries present. Few leaves were still present on the trees. During the two days of the experiment there were a total of 100 replicates noted. For each replicate a random Maple tree was selected. Once selected, the diameter of the tree was measured; ten inches or lower was considered as a small tree and anything above ten inches was considered to be a large tree. The condition of the tree was also noted, if the tree was uprooted and decomposing it was said to be dead, if it was still attached to the ground and had leaves present then it was considered to be alive. Once the size and condition of the tree were determined a quadrat was placed in close proximity to the base of the tree and in a 60 second interval all of the individual insects were manually counted inside the quadrat.

title: A study of the correlation between sunlight and soil moisture with the abundance of plants

description: This study of correlation between sunlight exposure and soil moisture with plant abundance was conducted in Danby woodlot and grassland of York University by myself and three other group members including Alexandra, Khaula and Houra from BIOL 2050 Ecology Lab 02 on Oct 13 and 20. Oct 13rd was a cloudy and windy day with little sunlight, while Oct 20th was a bit rainy in the morning and then cloudy throughout the day. We started the experiment around 2:45 pm and finished within 2 hours. The purpose of this study was to investigate the system health of Danby Woodlot and Grassland through measuring the sunlight and soil moisture level towards the plants abundance, in order to optimize vegetation. Our group was divided into two pairs, with one conducted the experiment in the grassland and the other pair conducted in the woodlot. Two quadrats were used, one for each pair, to standardize the sample area. The total number of different plants within a quadrat was counted and recorded. The percentage of area in the quadrat covered by sunlight was measured in a scale of 0 (no sunlight) to 3 (full sunlight exposure). The soil moisture was measured by using popsicle stick to collect the soil samples below the ground and place them on paper towels and between fingers to test the relative water content which was recorded in the scale of 0 to 2 (dry, moderate, wet). A total of 160 replicates were recorded – 40 replicates for each pairs x 2 pairs x 2 days.

title: Impact of Sunlight and Soil Moisture on Plant Abundance and Surrounding Ecosystems

description: This experiment was conducted over the span of two days: October 13th 2015 and October 20th 2015 in the Danby Woodlot and the Danby Grassland at York University Keele Campus from approximately: 2:50-5:00pm both days, with group members Houra, Alexandera and Kathy. The weather was approximately 18°C on both days. On the first day the experiment was conducted it was severely overcast with a lot of cloud coverage while on the second day there was some cloud coverage and light showers towards the end. All the grassland replicates were collected by Houra and I, in order to keep data/measurements reliable and consistent. The overall purpose of this lab was to develop collaboration skills in field ecology & data collection, but specifically to collect data to find a relationship between sunlight and soil moisture and how they affect plant abundance (and ecosystems) respectively. A total of 160 trials were conducted over the span of two separate days, 80 in both the grassland and woodlot. A random number generator app was used to ensure random sampling. A random number of steps were taken in a a specific direction and the 1x1 meter quadrat was placed on the ground. The total number of plants were recorded, along with the moisture levels of the soil, and exposure of sunlight. The moisture of the soil was tested with a paper towel wrapped around a popsicle stick and being pushed into the ground, and was given a number from 0-2. The amount of sunlight the quadrat was being exposed to was given a number from 0-3. Both size classes are further explained in the meta data. This procedure was repeated 79 more times for both the grasslands and woodlot, 80 replicates for grassland and woodlot collected in each field day. It was concluded that due to the poor weather conditions: cloudy and rainy) the exposure to sunlight may not have been accurately depicted.

title: The effect of plant density and distance from the pond on insect abundance- Data

description: We were studying the effect of distance from the pond and plant density on insects abundance in unmowed grassland. We were doing that by counting the number of insects and calculating the plant density in a 1X1 (squared meter) quadrants in three different distances- 1, 10 and 20 meters away (vertically) from the pond in York University grassland area above the Pond street. We placed the quadrants so they will be a meter apart (to the side of the previous quadrant) in every distance. We have done it in two different dates, October 13 and October 20 in 2015. Here you can find the data we found and a decriptive explantion of how exactly we were doing so. Worth to mention that the tempature was simmilar in this two dates; however, the wind was much stronger on October 20.

title: Measuring insect abundance depending on the effect of light and habitat at York University

description: The purpose behind this experiment was to determine the effects of habitat and amount of light on insect abundance. This experiment was performed at York University, at two different locations: Stong pond grassland and Danby woodlots on October 19th, 2015 and October 26th, 2015. The experiment time was approximately constant for the two days, around 3:00 pm. For the first day of experiments on October 19th, 2015 temperature was around 13 degrees Celsius, with wind speed at 9 mph and clear skies. On October 26th, 2015 temperature was 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 mph, skies on that day were more cloudy compared to October 19th, 2015. Data were collected in Danby Woodlot by Sarah Alsammarraie and Syed Yosuf, while Stong pond collection was done by Anosha Rahmany and Sharon Dhami. Data were collected using ten pan traps in the grassland area and ten pan traps in the woodlot area. Transect tape was used to measure 27 meters distance in a straight line into the woodlot allowing 3 meters between each pan trap. Ten pan traps of different colors were placed in an alternating order were no two consecutive color were the same. Pan traps were filled with soap-water solution; about half of the pan was filled with the solution to trap the insects in and the pans were set for an hour in the two habitats. When an hour had been passed, the insect abundance, canopy coverage and RTUs were measured at each location where there was a pan trap positioned. Canopy coverage was estimated by creating a square in the air above the pan trap using two fingers from each hand and raising the square along head height and looking through it to estimate the percentage of sky visible through that square. The exact same procedure was followed in day 1 and day 2.
