title: Plant Sampling Techniques and Data - Heath Aster - Lab 2 Dataset 2

description: Equipment: 2 Transect This lab was conducted by sampling a specific plant species called (White) Heath Aster using a transect on York University at a grassland area near the Danby Woodlot which took place on September 23, 2015 from 3:00pm – 5:00pm. The weather was breezy with temperatures around 23°C and the sky was slightly cloudy. The area in the grassland was concentrated with Heath Aster plant. The collaborators for this lab was A. Amin and J. Quach. J. Quach recorded the data on notebook and held the transect in position while both I. Darman and A. Amin identified the plant, counted the number of leaves and flowers, and took measurements using transects. 20 individual plants were recorded along the transect. After that, the height of each plant was recorded from the ground position using the second transect till the highest flat point. The number of flowers and leaves per plant was estimated by first counting the leaves or flowers on a small portion of the plant, counting the number of portions on each plant and multiplied both number (portions x leaves or flowers in one portion). The level of crowdedness was rated from a scale of 0-3 within a distance of 50 cm. 0 meaning an open area, 1 meaning some plant nearby, 2 meaning quite a few plant and 3 meaning very crowded.

title: Goldenrod Transect Dataset

description: In this experiment, a dataset was collected for 25 goldenrods in the grasslands in York University. To begin, a transect was laid down randomly within the grasslands at Pond Rd. in York University. I walked along the transect and recorded the distance of goldenrods, plants with bright yellow visible flowers, on both sides of the transect in meters. After recording the distance, the height of each goldenrod was measured with a spare transect. To measure the height, I held the transect vertically, starting from the highest point of the plant, the flower, to base of the stem. The height was also measured in meters. Then I counted the number of alive leaves for each goldenrod for which I had already measured the distance and the height. I defined alive leaves as all the leaves that had not dried up. After counting the leaves, I checked the goldenrod to see if it had any flowers. I recorded the each goldenrod. Some goldenrods had a bundle of flowers at the top of the plant. These bundles consisted of small flowers in close proximity to one another, which were separated by small branches bearing no leaves. As a result, I defined each bundle as 1 flower. Lastly, I examined the surrounding of each goldenrod for other plants. Using a scale of 0-3 in terms of crowdedness, each goldenrod was either assigned a 0 if it was in an open area, 1 if there were some plants near the goldenrod, 2 if there were quite a few plants surrounding the goldenrod and 3 if the goldenrod was surrounded by a very crowded bunch of plants within 50cm.

title: Dataset of Sugar Maple Trees Using Transects in Danby Woodlot

description: The data set on Sugar Maple Tree species was collected on September 22nd at the Danby Woodlot located at York University Campus at approximately 3:30-4:20 with laboratory partners Fenil, Tonia & Michael. The temperature was 21˚C with sunny conditions and a light breeze. The objective of this laboratory exercise was to familiarize Biol2050 students with sampling techniques such as the use of transects and quadrats in addition to gaining experience in gathering field data. There are four data sets in total. I chose to execute Woodlot data set #4. A linear transect of 30m was created using transect measuring tape. 10 adult Sugar Maple Trees were randomly selected along the transect. An adult tree is considered a tree twice my height or more (129+ inches). The diameter at breast height was measured in inches using the transect measuring tape. The canopy cover was also estimated using the method described in the meta-data. For each of the 10 adult Sugar Maple Trees found, the distance to the closest Sugar Maple sapling was recorded in inches. Saplings must be less than twice my height (less than 129+ inches). The diameter of the 10 Sugar Maple sapling was recorded in inches. 20 trees were surveyed in total ( 10 adult Sugar Maple trees & 10 Sugar Maple saplings).

title: Distance between adult trees and their closest sapling going on a transect

description: On Wednesday the 23rd of September 2015, the experiment took place in the wood lot behind Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. The experiment was comparing adult trees to their closest sapling along a transect; the leaves of the two trees were compared to match them. The transect was placed near the path close to the law school and pulled inward of the forest. While walking along the transect, 10 replicates were chosen. The diameters of both the adult and sapling tree were recorded. The distance between the adult and the sapling were also recorded as well as canopy cover. This data can show how well are trees growing in this woodlot and if there is a correlation between the distance between adult trees and their sapling and the growth of the sapling.

title: Utilizing Line Transect Methods for Sampling Common Milkweed Plants in Grassland near the Danby Woodlot at York University

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 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.

title: Ecology Lab 2 Simple Data Survey - Woodlot Dataset 4 Tree Sampling

description: Species Black Thorn was chosen because of simple identification through distinction of their bearing of small black berries. Criteria of an adult tree included the bearing of small black berries on multiple branches and taller than 5 metres. Tape measure was placed against adult Black Thorn trunk at breast height, and width of trunk was measured with tape measure. Black Thorn Canopy Coverage was determined by viewing the above canopy through a square formed by the index finger and thumb of both hands. Distance to nearest sapling tree was measured with measuring tape; criteria of sapling tree included not being over 3 metres tall. Tape measure was placed against trunk at breast height, and width of sapling tree was measured with tape measure.

title: Biodiversity of species on the grassland of Stong Pond, York University.

description: On September 21, 2015 in between 2:30pm to 5:30pm with a temperature of about 19 degrees Celsius, our group members conducted an experiment on the biodiversity of species. In this experiment, a dataset was collected for 25 quadrats on the grasslands of Stong Pond, York University- Keele Campus. During the study, the quadrat was placed randomly on the grassland twenty five times as replicates and was continuous. Plant species were identified in the quadrat with the help of a plant guide and features such as color, leave shape/size were also observed in the identification process. Various species of grasses were present and all were counted as one species. Common species found were: Common Milkweed, Birdfoot Trefoil, Grass, Heath Aster, Late Purple Aster, Common Thistle, Queen Anne’s Lace, Canadian Goldenrod, and Cow Vetch. The species type, total number of species observed and the total plant abundance was recorded. The data obtained was based on our visual observations, and no other tools besides the quadrat were used. Ron Kleiman helped with obtaining this raw data.
