title: Biol2050: Grassland data-set 01: the abundance of different plants species on the grassland and total coverage of vegetation and grass

description: <strong>Methods:</strong><br>A metal frame square shaped quadrat with the size of 1m x 1m was used to measure the abundance of different plants species on the grassland. A quadrat was randomly placed on the grassland for 25 different areas at York University Keele campus around Stong Pond on September- 23 – 2014 and the date was collected at 4:10 pm to 4:40pm. The weather was hot and sunny with the temperature of 23 °C. At the beginning of this experiment the samples were taken at the border of the grassland, later the samples were taken by walking away from the last quadrat sample. Hence, the quadrat was placed randomly on the Stong Pond area for 25 times. The data was collected by counting the total abundance of plants inside the quadrat, the total number of different plant species based on their phenotypes, they were counted inside the quadrat, total coverage of all vegetation within plots and coverage of grasses were estimated and were measure in percentage by observing the quadrat and discussing with group members. The most abdundant plant species on the stong Pond area were Cirsium spp= A, Vicia spp=B, Solidago sempervirens =C, Erigeron strigosus=D, Common Milkweed=E and the grass was mostly observed to be fine-leaved grasses. <strong>Data:</strong><br><strong>Quadrats number:</strong> (n=25) Abundance of plants Total numbers of plants were counted inside the quadrat by separating their individual stems by hand. <strong>Number of Species:</strong> Total numbers of different plants species were observed inside the quadrat and they were differentiated using their phenotype. Species observed on the grassland: Cirsium spp= A, Vicia spp=B, Solidago sempervirens =C, Erigeron strigosus=D, Common Milkweed=E <strong>Vegetation coverage:</strong> Percentage of total cover of vegetation was estimated by observing the area cover by plants inside the quadrat (i.e. if half quadrat was cover with plant = 50% total cover of vegetation). <strong>Grass coverage</strong>: An estimated percentage of total cover of grass was observer by looking at the area cover by the grass inside the quadrat (i.e. if half quadrat was cover with grass = 50% total cover of grass).

title: biol2050 lab2 grassland dataset1-group5

description: On 22 september 2014, we work in group of four in York University grassland to Sample plant populations, specifically estimate the abundance of various plant species in the area. The way of doing this is by using a quadrat which is a sampling square, one meter squared in area. The quadrate is randomly placed at 15 different positions on the field and all the species identified in each one are counted. Four variables are recorded during the research: total abundance of plants, total number of different plant species, total cover of all vegetation within plots, and total cover of grasses.(variables are described and explained in the meta-data table)

title: Ecology 2050 Grassland Dataset 2

description: The experiment was conducted at York University on September 26th, 2014 in grasslands adjacent to Danby Woods. The purpose of this experiment was to become comfortable with plant sampling methods used in Ecology studies. Using a trasect tape (30m), the distance between thistle plants was recorded, to within 1m on either side of the tape. The height of the plant, number of leaves, number of flowers, and level of crowding were also recorded for a sample size of n = 50. When there were no other plants found along the transect tape, the tape was relocated to a different<br>area. This data was collected in collaboration with other researchers Elron, Simmy, and Laiba.

title: Species Count in Random sampling of Twenty One-Metre Quadrats at York University

description: On York Universty's Danby Woodlot, lies an untamed grassland. Many North American "weeds" make their home here, including the invasive Dog Strangling Vine (<em>Vincetoxicum rossicum</em>). In order to get an idea of the variety and abundance of plant species in the area, this author, along with local wildlife expert Amanda Liczner and several other York University undergraduate students, set out to perform a survey of the grassland on Thursday, September 25th, 2014. Using a one square metre (1m^2) quadrat, twenty random plots were surveyed. Once the quadrat was laid on the ground, each species was counted. This was done by noting which species, how many individuals of that species, and estimating the percent of the quadrat each species occupied within the quadrat. It is to be noted that the common household names of the species were used in this study, for simplicity.

title: Plants diversity and abundance at Keele Campus,York University.

description: This dataset was collected in the grassland east of Stong Pond (43°46'15.5"N 79°30'26.2"W) at York University,4700 Keele Street,Toronto, ON M3J 1P3, in Canada. The date was September 23rd,2014, from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm. The weather was warm but cloudy, and the temperature was between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. The area where the sampling took place,at the moment of it,was characterized by an abundance of the following species of plants : Canada Goldenrob (<em>Solidago canadensis</em>), White Aster (<em>Aster ericoides</em>),Queen Anne's Lace <em>(Daucus carota</em>),Common Dandelion (<em>Taraxacum officinale</em>),Graminoids ( grasses). To record this dataset,quadrats were placed randomly in the grassland,considering that it was uniform in terms of scale of environmental heterogeneity. The quadrat used was a square frame tool made of metal,so it bounded the area of a square meter (1m x 1m). Simple random sampling was the method adopted : the first quadrat (n=1) was placed in a random location within the designated area of the grassland and this process was replicated until n=25 plots were sampled. The total abundance of plants,the total number of different plant species,the total cover of all vegetation and the total cover of grasses were estimated for each sample within the area of the quadrat. The abundance of plants was obtained doing a quick mental count of every individual whose roots were inside the plot ( plants located at the edge of the quadrat were not counted if the stems were in and the roots were visually identified outside ) . The total number of different plant species was definited using an identification key based on morphology. The total cover of all vegetation and the total cover of grasses were valued looking down on the quadrat from above and estimating the observed percentage of the area,in a square meter,occupied by vegetation first and then by grasses.
