A Relationship Between The Height Of Waitutu Forest Trees

On September 17th, 2015 our group went on the Orange Trail of the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens, Georgia to collect data for our lab. The biome of this area that we explored fit a temperate deciduous forest type. We walked along the trail and picked random spots to start measuring our transects. We measured DBH size and canopy coverage at 10, 20, 30, and 40 meters respectively along each transect for a total of six transects. We used a densitometer to measure the percent of canopy coverage of the tree closest to the center of the sampling points along each of the transects. We used a measuring tape to measure out 10, 20, 30, and 40 meters respectively along each of the six

Every forest has a story to tell. By looking closely at its habitants, that story can be interpreted. Much of this narrative is written in the trees: their age, their tolerance to shade, and the rate at which they grow are all characteristics that can imply a lot about their environment. Exploring these relationships and how they connect with each other can indicate the health and history of the land. Heiberg Forest, located in northern New York, was once used for agricultural purposes in the 1800-1900’s. (Nowak, Lecture Notes) Much of the land once used for farming was left to regrow back into a young forest. The life history of different tree species can be determined by examining the most common species in Heiberg.

The Barbie Bungee lab was conducted in order to find the association between the amount of rubber bands and the distance the Barbie bungeed. Before performing the final experiment, the group conducted an initial investigation to get data that could be analyzed to examine the comparison from the amount of rubber bands to the length Barbie was able to bungee. In the investigation rubber bands would gradually be added one by one starting at two rubber bands. Each time a rubber band was added, three trial bungees were done and the lengths the barbie dropped were recorded. Using data collected from our background investigation, the group used excel to create a sheet displaying the data in a table, a graph showing the correlation constant, the line of best fit. The line of best fit was in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) where y represents the length of the trial average; m represents the slope

The topography of the island is also of note. The west end of the island features a closed-canopy forest with more hardwood trees. The east end of the island is better characterized as a “boreal forest,” a term used to describe regions that are mostly covered by coniferous forests. It is good to note that the balsam fir is found on both ends of the island, but that samples used in the study from the west end of the island were, on average, older, but shorter, than those samples found on the east side of the island.

The Madagascar Rainforest is home to thousands of different species. 70% of which can’t even be found anywhere else in the world. The rainforest is known for it’s 5 layers of plant and animal life; the overstory , the canopy, the understory, the shrub layer, and the forest floor. The primary focus in this project is the rainforest floor. In the Madagascar Rainforest, the abiotic factors directly impact the biotic factors (Madagascar Lowland Rainforest). An example of this would be with sunlight. Because such a small amount of sunlight reaches the forest floor due to the amount of vegetation from other layers, there isn’t much plant life on the forest floor. However, some plants in the forest have adapted to the lack of sunlight and grow up

Below the understory there is a woody shrub layer and non-woody herb layer (citation). An adaptation present in many trees native to this area is the “drip-tip”. This is advantageous because if water is allowed to sit on leaves and then the hot sun returns - it can easily burn the leaves causing the trees to be stressed and often defoliate. The other limiting factor that determines the type of vegetation present in the tropical rainforest is soil.

The Burnt Area of Mount Pilot contains mixed stands of competing, seedlings with slower growing Callitris seedlings and re-sprouting Eucalyptus trees. There is few Callitris endlicheri, as the species is fire sensitive and often destroyed by fire, particularly when in quick succession. Prior to the 2003 fire the site was dominated by Callitris species of tree. The seedlings that emerged were mostly Eucalyptus, with less dense Callitris seedlings proving that the growth of Callitris is not consistent with long term site suitability. Surprisingly, more Eucalyptus seedlings died in the first six years of regeneration that Callitris seedlings; competition in co-existence does not determine survivability. The major trend is that the growth of Eucalyptus seedlings is faster than that of Callitris seedlings. The density of Eucalyptus seedlings is shown to effect Callitris seedlings growth which thrives where Eucalyptus seedlings are sparser. Callitris may take 7-15 years to produce sufficient seeds (Cohn, Lunt, Ross, & Bradstock, 2011; I. Lunt, Jones, N., & Petrow, M.,, 2003; I. Lunt, Price, J.,, 2016; Ian D Lunt, Zimmer, & Cheal, 2011; Zimmer, 2012).

Please record the address of the property where the samples were collected, or—even better—provide GPS coordinates). You will bring these leaves to the college and will identify the trees they came from using accepted scientific methodology. I will give you guidance in how to identify the tree species. (Note that this may involve meeting outside of class time). You will then write a paper, using the same format as your regular lab report, on the identity of the trees, whether they are native to our area or not, and discuss why they might be growing where you found them. Your paper will be reviewed and you will have the option to either accept the grade given, or correcting any problems found. If problems are corrected, your grade will be raised to the maximum and your paper submitted for possible publication online at www.saturnjournal.org. This will be worth 10 bonus points. 3. Extra exam credit. There will be four bonus points available on each of the two lab practicals, and five bonus points on the final lecture exam, for a total of thirteen bonus points. Total bonus points available = 30. When added to your lowest qualifying exam grade, this equates to a maximum of six (6) points added to your final course average. EXAM POLICY: A. Repeating exams. Please note that each exam may be taken once only. Exams may not be repeated because you are not happy

"There are several different kinds of relationships between variables. Before drawing a conclusion, you should first understand how one variable changes with the other. This means you need to establish how the variables are related - is the relationship linear or quadratic or inverse or logarithmic or something else" ("Relationship Between Variables ", n.d)

Vegetation is a key factor in determining the structure of an ecosystem. It determines many ecological parameters within a plant community such as microclimate, energy budged, photosynthesis, water regimes, surface runoff and soil temperature (Tappeiner and Cernusca, 1996). Vegetation of an area varies from place to place according to habitat heterogeneity of the area itself. The description and classification of the plant community in an ecosystem is known as Phytosociology (Braun-Blanquet, 1932; Odum, 1971). It’s an important characteristic in describing vegetation that offers a preliminary picture of the ecological character of the vegetation (Kershaw, 1973). Each site of study

Residency in Brooklyn Then: In Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn the main character Francie lives in a poor area of Brooklyn called Williamsburg. In the 1910’s Brooklyn was mostly a poverished city and consisted of mostly white European immigrants. Like Francie, many of those immigrants lived in poorly built apartments known as tenements. The tenements that had once been single-family homes were divided into multiple living spaces to accommodate the growing number of immigrants.

Ans: As the coefficient of “horsepower” is negative, the relationship is also negative. The more horsepower an automobile has the linear regression indicates the less mpg fuel efficiency the automobile will have.

The Wollemi Pine is a unique,, cone-bearing tree that grows to 40m in height it also has a very long life time. This species is often multi-stemmed and have a diameter of up to 1.2 m at breast height Bark is thin, it is fragile and densely covered with dark brown spongy, slightly cushioned tubercles, which looks similar to black Branches are arranged in continuous whorls which extend from the main stem. The side branches terminate in a cone. Wollemi Pine is most commonly located in western Sydney at the Wollemi National Park (NP) with a population of fewer than 100 adult trees in multiple stands and about 200–300 seedlings in total from within the Wollemi National Park, it Is considered an endangered species.

David Hockney's painting from the series Bigger Trees Near Warter features two roads.One seems straightforward, simple, and full of life, while the other seems more mysterious and unknown. Through his use of color and line, Hockney allows the viewer to think upon and contemplate two different directions. Hockney allows the viewer to question the directions of the roads. Where will each road take me? David Hockney’s painting from the series Bigger Trees Near Warter takes the viewer on a poetic journey.

Gray’s Bush Scenic Reserve is a Department of Conservation managed 12 ha remnant of a podocarp-broadleaf forest. It is located on the north eastern side on the Gisborne flood plains approximately 10 km from the city centre of Gisborne. Gray’s Bush Scenic Reserve is unique in that it is the last surviving stand of the kahikatea/puriri forest type in the Gisborne region (DOC 'Gray's Bush. n.d). The prominent canopy trees are kahikatea and puriri with and understory comprised of nikau, kawakawa, pukatea, mahoe and tawa.
