title: Training With Transects On Woodlot - YorkU

description: This data was collected on a relatively sunny day in the woodlot located on York University’s campus. The purpose was to examine 10 pair of trees by gathering data about these specific trees and then trying to identify them. It was collected with a lab partner who wrote the data while the instructor measured. A transect was used to gather this data and typically an approximation of the measurement was recorded. Furthermore, the scale was in feet and the participants (trees) are non mobile. The data was collected by going from a pair of trees to another pair. When approaching a pair of trees, first measure its diameter by bringing the transect to breast level and approximating the width of the tree. Then, decided on adult vs. young based on your height and rank the tree for its condition. Finally measure the distance between the two trees and follow the same procedure on the second tree.

title: BIOL 2050: Lab 2 Woodlot Data Set 3

description: A total of 10 adult Western Red Cedar trees were examined in the Saywell Woodlot at York University on September 21, 2015 at aproximatley 4:00pm. It was partly cloudy with a temperature of 18ᵒC. The trees were randomly sampled by placing a 100 foot transect along the edge of the woodlot and collecting data on the adult trees we encountered while working our way down the transect (trees were sampled within 1 meter of the transect on either side). Data was collected on the distance between adult trees as well as the DBH and condition of the tree. Trees were considered to be adults if they were at least twice the height of the experimenter. The experimenter measured 71 inches in height and visual observation was used to determine weather or not the tree was twice the experimenter's height. The distance between trees and DBH measurements were obtained by using a transect measuring tape. The condition of the trees were based on visual observation.

title: The Density of Adult Trees in the York University Saywell Woodlot

description: This study took place at the Saywell Woodlot at York University. It was conducted on September 21st,2015 on a sunny day between the hours of 4pm and 5pm, at roughly 20 degrees celsius. The data was collected by laying a transect at the edge of the woodlot in a straigh line into the woods. The conductors of the study then walked down the transect and marked the nearest adult tree as a replicate. (Adult trees were determined to be at least twice the conductor's height of 6 feet, 0 inches.) Once a tree was located, its Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and Condition were evaluated. Then the next nearest adult tree was located, their distance was measured along with the nearest tree's DBH and Condition. This experiment was repeated 9 additional times on the next nearest trees continuing along the transect.

title: Grassland environment measurements of Solidago canadensis

description: This study was conducted to measure Solidago canadensis (goldenrod) plant abundance, crowding, and height, as well as flower and leaf abundance on randomly selected branches of individuals. A belt transect method with a one metre spread (50 centimetres on each side of the transect) was used to select individuals to study, with individuals falling within the belt along the line being chosen to be recorded. An area to begin the transect was randomly selected by taking 50 steps down a trail in the grassland, and taking another 10 steps to the right of the path. The transect was then stretched out in a straight line. Branches to study were selected by closing eyes and picking a branch on the plant. This data set was collected on September 21, 2015 between 2:45 and 3:30 pm ET. The temperature was 19 degrees celsius with scattered clouds.

title: Lab 2- Woodlot, Dataset #3

description: This experiment was conducted on Tuesday September 22nd 2015 from approximately 4:20-4:55 PM in the Danby Woodlot of York University with group members Houra, Alexandra and Kathy. The weather was warm and sunny with a slight breeze, at a temperature of 22°C. The purpose of this experiment was to familiarize ourselves with sampling tools, collecting field data and to recognize any relationships or patterns in the data. By group decision I was assigned to complete dataset #3 with the help of my partner, Houra. This experiment required us to go to an edge of the Danby Woodlot and walk a straight line leading to the centre of the woodlot, while recognizing adult trees along the way. A tree was considered an adult tree if it was twice the height of the data collector, in this case, 5ft and 9inches. When we identified an adult sugar maple tree the distance between it, and the nearest tree was measured in inches from the edge of both trees, using a transect measuring tape. The diameter at breast height (54 inches above ground) was measured and recorded in inches with the transect measuring tape. The condition of both trees was recorded using a size class, 0 through 2. 0 indicated that the tree was dead with no leaves and most likely a thin trunk. 1 indicated that the tree was healthy and living with some foliage and 2 indicated that it was an old tree with a big canopy and most likely, a large trunk. This process was repeated nine more times, giving a data set of 10 pairs of trees. It was noticed that the DBH and the condition of a trees were directly proportional.

title: Adult Tree Density in Saywell Woods

description: The location in which the study was conducted was Saywell woods at York University. The temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius and sunny with a few clouds. We collected data by lying the transect measuring tape from the edge of the woodlot to the centre. Following along the transect anytime an adult tree was met, its diameter was taken and the nearest adult tree's distance was calculated in centimeters. The nearest trees were on either side of first tree and not along the transect like the first. Once the distance from the first adult tree to the second was calculated, the second trees’ diameter was taken in centimetres. The trees that were considered adult trees where the trees that were twice our height. After the distance between each tree and their respective diameters were recorded, the first tree's appearance was used to categorize it's condition. The trees’ condition was ranked on a scale from 0-2, 0= dead, 1= living, 2= huge green canopy.

title: Danby Woodlot Dataset 4 - Random Sampling of Adult Trees and Saplings

description: An experiment took place on September 21st, 2015 at approximately 3:30pm with group members Felicia O., Richer L., Dylan C.,Brandon B. split into two teams. The temperature at Danby Woodlot was 21˚C with sunny and clear skies. The data found here is Woodlot dataset 4 that samples 10 adult and sapling Red Maple Trees, Acer rubrum, were used as samples for Datasets 3 and 4. The data was collected by randomly selecting the adult Red Maple Trees and recording: diameter at breast height (cm), canopy coverage (percentage), distance to nearest sapling (m), and diameter at breast height of the sapling (cm). <strong></strong> The measurements of the diameters and distance were obtained by using a transect measuring tape. The diameter of the adult tree was measured by extending trhe transect tape horizontally across the tree at breast length. The canopy coverage was recorded by making a square with index and thumb, holding it up to the sky and estimating the percentage of sky visible in the square. The distance of a sapling of the same species was measured from the root of the adult tree to the root of the sapling (measured in meters). Lastly the diameter of the sapling was measured in the same way as the adult tree. This process is repeated 10 times with a random sampling of adult trees. This experiment allows one to improve fine tune their data collection techniques in their experiments thereby obtaining a broader understanding of accurate sample sizing, using transects in order to measure your subjects and random sample selection.

title: Distribution of Adult Trees and Saplings of Same Species

description: Inside a woodlot, adult tree was randomly selected. Then, the diameter of the tree, at 4 feet from the ground, was measured. The diameter was measured by holding a measuring tape to the tree and recording the distance from one end to another. After, the canopy coverage was measured by forming a square using thumb and index finger of both hands, and holding it up towards the sky. The percentage of sky covered by the tree inside the square was estimated and recorded. Next, the nearest sapling tree of the same species as the adult tree was found and the distance from the adult tree to the sapling was measured and recorded. Lastly, the diameter of the sapling was measured at the thickest part of its trunk. The whole process was repeated nine more times with trees of the same species as the first replicate.
