title: Field Training with Plants- Lab #2

description: The members who collected this data together were Adilah Ismail, Harshvir Hehar, Amrutha Balamurugan and Olivia Kazmierczak. The study sight was a grass land on campus with great sunlight and few clouds. The area had a couple of threes that were avoided to make sure direct sunlight was used for the data. To completely collect all the data for this experiment the group was given 40 minutes. A quadrant made by connecting meter sticks together to create a square was used 20 times to collect data of 20 random spots in the grass land and were analyzed by observation. The data collected for all 20 quadrants was the abundance (the amount of vegetation within each quadrant), the amount of different types of vegetation, as well as the amount of space the grass takes up within each quadrant and the grass with the other types of vegetation in percentages. All of this data is estimated through observation. The reasoning behind collecting this data is to understand how to take data outside of the field as well as see that in a grass land not ever 1mx1m part of it will be identical in its vegetation, also certain plan species do not thrive in every part of the grass land but only in certain areas.

title: BIOL 2050 - Lab 2: Grassland dataset examining white aster species using the transect method

description: The objective of this study was to select a visible plant species to observe and compare amongst 5 variables: distance, height, number of leaves, number of flowers and crowdedness. The plant species selected for this study was the white aster. This study has a sample size of 20 independent white asters (n=20). The data was collected using the transect method on the grasslands of York University on Thursday, September 24, 2015 between 3 and 4 pm. During this time the weather was mostly sunny with a temperature of 22 degrees celsius. It was an open field thus there was direct sunlight which allowed for ideal conditions to record data. The materials used in this experiment include: 2 transects for measurement and a notebook to record data. The distance and height were measured in inches using the two separate transects. The number of leaves and number of flowers were counted. Finally, the crowdedness was estimated and assigned a numerical value based on a scale. Members of the group include: Adilah Ismail, Harshvir Hehar, Amrutha Balamurugan and Olivia Kazmierczak. All group members were assigned to collect data for specific variables of this dataset and these values were subsequently confirmed by all members of the group. The data collected reveals that there is a correlation between the crowdedness of a plant and the height of the plant.

title: Lab 2:Biol2050 Woodlot Data Set 4

description: The experiment was conducted for the second biol2050 lab for dataset 4. The experiment was conducted in the woodlot at York University on Thursday Sept 24th, 2015 at approximately 430-5pm. The weather during this time was 21 degrees Celsius, with 0% chance of rain, and wind with the speed of 16km/h. Group Members: Simranjit Kang, Ava Kamali, Katrin Chapkis, Jennifer Mariathas The purpose of the lab was to understand the process of using transect measuring tape to calculate the diameter at breast height of adult, and sapling trees. As well, the purpose was to gain knowledge on how to determine canopy coverage. The sample size in this experiment was 10 pairs of Maple trees (1 adult maple tree, and 1 sapling maple tree that was closest to it), for a total of 20. The maple tree was identified using the leaf guide provided on page 14 of the lab manual. Also, there was a great abundance of maple trees in the woodlot, and so it was chosen as the subject. The observer randomly selected an adult maple tree, which had to be at least twice the observer's height (the observer was 5"4). The diameter at breast height was then determined by using the transect measuring tape, and calculating the width of the tree at the observer's chest height. The results were then recorded in inches. The canopy coverage of each adult tree was estimated by using the index and thumb of both hands, creating a rectangle which was then held up to the sky. The amount of space that the adult maple tree took up was recorded as a percentage to the best of the observers ability. If the tree took up half the space when viewed, it was given 50%, if it took up 3/4 it was given 75%, and so on. Each member of the group estimated the canopy coverage of each maple tree as well, and achieved the same results as the observer, this was done in order to decrease chance of error. After the closest sapling maple tree was found from the adult maple tree, the distance between them was measured with the transect measuring tape in feet. The tree was considered a sapling when it just reached the observer's height (5"4), or slightly taller. The diameter at breast height was then determined by using the transect measuring tape once again, and calculating the width of the tree at the observer's chest height. The results were recorded in inches. This process was performed a total of 10 times.

title: Ecology 2050- Field data- Late Purple Aster- Grassland Dataset 2- Transect

description: Group members: Katrin Chapkis, Ava Kamali, Simranjit Kang, Jennifer Mariatha This lab was conducted on September 24th 2015 from 2.30 PM to 5.30 PM, at York University. The dataset was collected from Grasslands located next to Danby woodlot. The weather was cloudy and partially sunny with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. There was hardly any wind to interfere with field training. The purpose of this lab was to teach how to collect field data for a very first time and familiarize us with sampling tools, such as traits, transects and quadrats. These tools make it easier to understand the relation between several variables and their effects on each other. All group members contributed to collecting data for all of four datasets, but each member only submits one. Late Purple Aster (Aster prenathoides) was selected as the target species for Grassland data set 2 because it was easily recognizable in the field. This flower was identified according to information provided in the Practical ecology website. Each group was provided with two transect tapes, one of which was used for measuring distances and the other one was used for measuring the length of each target plant. To begin with, the transect tape was tied to a tree branch, which was chosen randomly. Since the measuring tape started at 3in dut to the tied knot, we subtracted that portion from each measured distance to record the actual value. From the starting point, we chose a random direction and walked in a straight line. Every time the line touched the target plant we observed, read, and recorded the distance shown on the transect tape. Then with our second transect tape, we measured the length of the plant. If the plant was bent we held it up (without pulling it) and measured its length from its highest point to the ground level. For every Late Purple Aster, three other data were recorded: the number of leaves, the number of flowers, and the level of crowding (0-3). We first started to count each flower and leaf, but as we got familiar to it we were able to estimate their number by observing the plant. Crowding level refers to the number of plants which surround the target plant. There are three levels to it: 0= no plants, 1= one plant, 2= two to three plants, 3= more than three plants. We limited the last observation within a 30 centimeters radius of the target plant to check its surrounding easier (an estimation made by vision). These assumptions are specific to this dataset only. Finally, we repeated this process until we gathered enough data for 20 individuals.

title: BIOL 2050 - Grassland Data Set #2

description: This dataset was collected by Eman, Azeb, Bava and Saraswatie. Multiple Cow’s Vetch (Vicia cracca) were measured along a transect line. Twenty different replicates were observed and recorded. Recorded measurements included distances of each plant along the transect line and the height of the plant from the root to the highest point. The measurements used were recorded in feet and inches. Recorded observations also included number of leaves on each plant. Any leaves found on the plant were counted regardless of their shape or size with the exception of leaves which appeared to be dead. Dead leaves were excluded from the data collection. Number of flowers on the actual plant was also observed and recorded. Individual flower pedals were counted by one member of the group in order to save time. Any flower that was located on the plant that was being observed was counted regardless of their shape or size. If the colouration indicated a dead flower or if it was blatantly obvious, the dead flower was not counted. Level of Crowdedness was also recorded. A range of 0-3 was used to indicate the level of crowdedness surrounding the plant under observance. If the plant was free from any form of crowdedness, a level of 0 was given. If the plant was surrounded by small amounts of vegetation, the rating given was 1. If the plant was surrounded by normal amounts of vegetation, it was given a 2 and if it was extremely crowded by vegetation, a 3 was given. This was a mensurative experiment as no experimental techniques were used. Data collection occurred in the Danby grasslands at York University - Keele Campus on September 24, 2015 at approximately 3:40pm to 4:20pm. The weather was approximately 21 degrees with varying sun and cloud activity. The grasslands were dry as no rain had fallen before our arrival. The vegetation of the grasslands would also increase the further you walked in. Occasional insects such as bees and flies would roam the area. The datasets were collected in a group of four, with each member contributing results. The purpose of this lab was to attain valuable field work experience in collecting and reporting data by recording it for plant populations.

title: BIOL 2050 Dataset 1: Danby Grassland Diversity in Vegetation

description: The data was collected at Danby Grassland at York University: Keele Campus on Thursday, September 24 2015 at approximately 3:00pm. The duration of the experiment took approximately 40 minutes and was completed at around 3:40pm. The temperature was 22°C and it was sunny with clear skies. The area site where the sampling took place was large, dry and open. The vegetation increased as you went further into the site. Species such as Common Milkweed, Common Plantain, Grass, and White Oak were predominate in the area of interest. The sampling was done in groups of four and was divided amongst the group members: Azeb, Eman, Bava and Saraswatie. This particular sampling was conducted by Azeb with the help of Eman. The purpose of this lab was to obtain experience in sampling and publishing data by becoming familiar with the tools and conducting fieldwork experiments. Overall, dataset one was meant to determine the level of diversity in vegetation in a given area. The sample size for this dataset is 20. The data was collected using 1m x 1m metal square quadrats which were placed randomly across the grassland. The plots were scattered randomly to obtain and accurate representation of the area. This was repeated and recorded 20 times using pen and paper in an organized chart. The total abundance was determined by counting every individual plant present within the quadrats with exception of grass which was counted as a whole instead of counting each individual blade. Total percent coverage and total grass coverage was determined by visually estimating the percentage of vegetation and grass occupied in the quadrats. The total number of different species was identified by analyzing the plant based on features such as colour, shape, and size.

title: Grassland Dataset 2

description: The purpose of this observational study was to utilize the line transect method, i.e., a distance method, for sampling purposes, to meausre characteristics of the Common Milkweed plant (Asclepias syriaca), i.e., plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, and level of crowding, and to use the distance on the transect measures from the plants as a means to estimate the population abundance of this plant species in the Grassland situated near the Danby Woodlot at York University, which is the location where this study was conducted. This study was conducted by group members Gajamugan Rajavarothayan, Gopaul Parbatie, Albert Lin, and Hannan Fayyaz from 3:25 pm to 4:00 pm EDT. A transect tape was randomly placed in a straight line stretching 20 meters in the Grassland situated near the Danby Woodlot at York University, specifically in an area that had the presence of the target plant species, i.e. the Common Milkweed plants. As we walked along the transect line, we recorded the distance on the transect whenever a Common Milkweed plant was visible near the transect tape, i.e. within 2 meters from the transect tape, to estimate the population abundance of this plant species in this Grassland area near Danby Woodlot at York University. We also measured the plant height using a second transect tape from the ground up to the tip of the largest leaf in the Common Milkweed plant, i.e.. the largest leaf in the plant was actually lifted to as high as possible and this height was recorded as the plant height. Gajamugan was the one who read all the measurements from the transect tape to ensure errors are minimized as the measurements for both the distance on the transect and plant height were recorded consistently by the same person. The number of leaves and number of flowers was recorded for each individual plant, and the level of crowding for each individual plant was scored from 0-3, whereby 0 = open, 1 = some plants nearby, 2 = quite a few plants nearby, and 3 = very crowded bunch of plants nearby within 50 cm. In total, our sample size, n, was 20 individual Common Milkweed plants. The conditions at this site at York University had an atmosphere temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, the weather was partly cloud, wind speed was 16 km/h blowing from the East, and the humidity level was 63% and the soils were not dry but rather they contained some moisture. The height of the grassland vegetation in area we used to sample the Common Milkweed plants was below 0.5 m, I.e., below knee level. However, in neighbouring grassland areas from our site that contained other plant species, the height of the grassland vegetation increased and was around 1-1.5 m, i.e., above knee level. Insects like lady bugs, bees, and flies flew around our site as well. Hence, overall these factors provided adequate conditions for viewing the plants and recording measurements from it.
