Transect

As seen in figure 1, two flags were placed 20 m apart halfway up the slope and parallel with the valley. This marked points one and two. For each of the two points, the working area was divided into quadrats which were determined by the transect line and right angle lines. For each of the eight quadrats, the closest large tree (greater than 47 cm circumference) and the nearest medium tree (12.5 - 47cm circumference) were identified. The distance from the point, the circumference, and the…

For the course of my 120 hours I was working for San Bernardino County Special Districts Parks and Recreation. I was working in two different districts for the county; the North Etiwanda Preserve and for Wrightwood Parks and Recreation. I have been at my job for San Bernardino County for 3 and a half years now. I was originally hired to only work for the Wrightwood district, but now that I almost have my BA in Environmental Studies my supervisors have been having me work on more substantial…

3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Spatial distribution of salinity, temperature, and CDOM absorption coefficient Spatial distribution of mean salinity, temperature, and CDOM absorption coefficient along transect with station 1 being a marine water end member while station 15 being a freshwater end member is illustrated in Figure 3. It is characterized by surface mean salinity gradient, ranging from (12.04±4.23) psu to (7.18±5.73) psu in spring, (24.26±0.91) psu to (0.31±0.30) psu in summer,…

This experiment focused on the subject of Ecology which is the study of Organisms. This studies the relationship an organism has with other organisms and the relationship the organism has with their surrounding environment (Ecology, 2015). The creeks were a perfect example of an ecosystem in our study because they had different Abiotic and Biotic factors that we could look at to support our hypothesis and prediction. An ecosystem is an environment where abiotic (nonliving) and biotic (living)…

Now EU laws are same for all European Union’s countries. All countries have to follow the Union’s legislation. If any organization or EU countries want to do business, it needs to contact with European Money Union and it needs to transect in Euro. EU policies have immense influence on UK businesses through spending and taxation law, spending and directive, inspiring business activity through support and subsidies. All UK companies can exchange their product with other EU countries…

(Bendiner-Viani 2005). A deductive approach was taken, with the participant being instructed to identify, and document ways that food was marketed and whether this influenced their desire to dine at that restaurant. The tour was in the form of a transect walk, thus it was systematic and pre-planned, spanning Ecclesall Road, from Hunters Bar to the city centre end. Ten restaurants along Ecclesall Road were used to observe marketing techniques, and how it can change. The premeditated restaurants…

The Colorado River transects the Colorado Plateau. The Colorado River is ranked the fifth largest river in the United States, and is often referred to as the Nile of North America. This nickname describes its arid location and the vast human population that relies upon it (Kammerer, 2005). Despite its size, fluctuations in Colorado River stream flow are sensitive to the seasonal and annual changes in precipitation and temperature typical in arid systems. Long periods of below-average…

Proposal 1: Plant Diversity and Competition in Montana Sagebrush Steppe; Post Wildfire In Montana, 44,103 square kilometers are classified as big sagebrush steppe. In addition to this, 16,346 square kilometers are classified as Montane Sagebrush Steppe (fieldguide.mt.gov). These ecosystems alone take up nearly 16% of Montana’s land (15.87%). These lands are normally dominated by Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis, and other native shrubs along with diverse perennial herbaceous graminoid…

Mine drainage and multi-story high chat piles left behind in the Tri-state mining district contaminate local Oklahoma waterways, including Tar Creek, with elements such as lead and zinc. Using flood maps of Tar Creek to select sites to analyze. 30m transect lines were laid on each side of the creek and soil cores were taken every 5m creating horizontal profiles.We took the cores to an OSU lab where we sampled each core at 3, 15, and 24 cm creating vertical…

Observations The several ecological factors discussed in the introduction were contrasted with the study site. The first site was analysed during high tide. Several aerate rocks occupied the rocky shore of the particular site. No presence of barnacles was noted. There were several favourable abiotic and biotic factors within this microhabitat. These included tidal action, salinity, availability of nutrients and lack of diversity within the competition of space and lack of predators. Despite…
