title: Nondestructive evaluation of photosynthesis by delayed luminescence in <i>Arabidopsis</i> in Petri dishes

description: Nondestructive evaluation of photosynthesis is a valuable tool in the field and laboratory. Delayed luminescence (DL) can reflect charge recombination through the backflow of electrons. However, DL detection has not yet been adapted for whole plants in Petri dishes. To compensate for differences in DL decay between sibling <i>Arabidopsis</i> plants grown under the same conditions, we developed a time-sequential double measurement method. Using this method, we examined the influence of photosynthetic electron flow inhibitors, and differences in the DL decay curves were categorized by considering the initial and late phases of the decay curves, as well as their intermediate slopes. The appearance of concavity and convexity in DL curves in <i>Arabidopsis</i> was different from unicellular algae, suggesting complexity in the photosynthetic machinery of higher plants. This detection method should be invaluable for evaluating photosynthetic defects in higher plants under sterile conditions without interrupting plant culture.

title: Soil Quality And Density Effects On The Number Of Stems In Goldenrods

description: The location in which the study was conducted was the grasslands in Stong Pond at York University. The data was collected over a span of two days, a week apart each collection. The first 25 replicates were obtained on October 19, 2015. The temperature was around 16 degrees Celsius, with dark skies full of grey rain clouds. The second day the second set of replicates were collected October 26, 2015. Where the temperature was around 11 degrees Celsius with a partially cloudy sky. The data was collected by placing quadrants 3 steps apart one another starting from the waters edge of Stong pond all the way to the roadside of the grassland. Within the quadrant, the number of goldenrods will be noted as well as the total number of branches, collectively. Soil quality is going to be determined through soil temperature as goldenrods have an ideal soil temperature of 10 degrees Celsius. This will be sampled using a thermometer and categorized as, low (7-9 degrees Celsius), ideal (10 degrees Celsius) and high (11-13 degrees Celsius).

title: Effects on canopy cover of the tree based on age and distance from urbanization

description: A study of 56 Eastern black walnut trees (<em>Julgans nigra</em>) was conducted to determine if the age and distance away from urbanization would affect the canopy coverage of a tree. The study took place on Oct. 19 and Oct. 26 of 2015 between 2:30 and 4:30 pm of each day. With the weather of 14 degrees and primarily sunny on the 19th, and it was 12 degrees and sunny on the 26th. Both days the data was collected at the Saywell woodlot in the South-West corner of the Keele campus at York University. Due to the lack of population present for the maple tree, the group changed to find a tree with a higher abundance in this woodlot. The Eastern black walnut tree was used as the replacement. By using the transect line, we were able to distinguish the distance from urbanization (also the distance away from the edge of the woodlot), as well as being able to find the diameter of each tree where it helps to determine the age of the tree. If the tree is further than the 30meters provided from the transect, the additional length is calculated through the sum of lengths from the closest known distance of the tree plus the extra length calculated. The canopy cover is categorically calculated based on the number of branches and twigs are present on each tree, and if the treee has any berries present.

title: Measuring Insect Abundance based on Light Intensity and Habitat

description: This experiment took place on two different days, October 19th and October 26th at York University, Stong Pond. On October 19th, the results were collected between 3:00 - 4:30 pm. The temperature was 10 degrees, and it was cloudy. On October 26th the results were collected from 2:45 - 4:30 pm, the temperature was 12 degrees and it was cloudy and windy. The materials that were used in this experiment included, 20 pan trap bowls, a stop watch, soapy water and a magnifying glass. 10 pan trap bowls filled with soapy water were placed in each of the two habitats, grassland and woodlot. The colours of the pan traps ranged from light blue, red, yellow, white, dark blue which attracted different types of insects. The canopy coverage was measured by pointing both hands towards the sky and arranging them in the shape of a square and then estimating the coverage in percent. An edge along the grassland or woodlot was chosen as a starting point for the first pan trap. Subsequent pan traps were placed every 2 meters, using a transect tape, from the starting point in a straight line. The pan traps were placed for a duration of 60 minutes, and then 2 minutes were spent counting the insects in each pan trap. Syed Yusuf and Sarah Alsammarrai set up the pan traps in the woodlot while Sharon and Anosha set up the pan traps in the grassland. This procedure was followed for Day 1 and Day 2 for the experiment.

title: The Effects of Canopy Cover on the Abundance of Organisms

description: Both datasets were recorded within the York University woodlands. Dataset 1 was recorded in the Osgoode Woodlot and dataset 2 was recorded in the Boyer Woodlot a week later. The weather conditions during both datasets were cloudy with light rain. We measured the canopy cover by looking directly above, making circles with our hands, and estimating the percentage of canopy cover. The canopy coverage was categorized into low, medium, and high coverage. Each level consisted of five red, five yellow, and five white pan traps. The pan traps were filled with soapy water to trap organisms and left to sit for two hours before being collected and recorded.

title: Dispersal Patterns of Goldenrod Species within the Grassland (Stong Pond) Habitat with Respect to Distance from Resources and Height Response

description: A group of three students (Rosalie, Andrew and Sandra) analyzed the grassland habitat (Stong Pond) at York University for the dispersal patterns of goldenrod plants. The data was collected between 2:30 to 4:00pm and investigated on October 19, 2015 and October 26, 2015 for a better representation. On October 19, 2015 the weather conditions were cloudy with slight winds at a temperature of 13° Celsius and on October 26, 2015 the weather conditions were clear, sunny with slight winds at a temperature of 9° Celsius. A 1x1 meter quadrat was systematically placed at fixed intervals of 1 meter from the last. For both sample days the same protocol was completed; for each day a total of 15 1x1 meter quadrats were placed 5 meters away from the pond distinguished as proximal to the pond and a total 15 1x1 meter quadrats placed 50 meters away from the pond, noted as distal from the pond. Data that was collected within the 1-meter by 1-meter quadrat included; a total count of individual plants and the height of five randomly selected goldenrods, in centimeters using a measuring tape.

title: Influences of density and soil temprature on Goldenrods

description: For this experiment our team evaluated the effects of plant density and soil temperature on goldenrods at York University in the Stong pong grassland. On Monday October 5th our team did 25 replicates where were used a quadrat to help determine the density of the goldenrods. Each replicate was 3 paces apart starting at the edge of the water and continuing in the direction of the road. Exactly two weeks later our team returned to the Stong pond grassland to do another 25 replicates in order to have data that varied over time following the same methods as the previous time. The temperature was recorded with a thermometer and the number of individual goldenrods in each quadrat and the total number of stems was also counted to see if temperature and density had an effect on the ability for goldenrod plants to have multiple stems.
