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.

Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so, list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To understand the structure and function of multipolar neuron,unipolar and bipolar neurons. Also to identify the structures of a nerve. There are no safety concerns for this lab.

In eukaryotes, stored primarily in the cell nucleus. A nucleic acid using deoxyribose rather than ribose.

The significance of our study was to determine whether or not solar radiation is a key to the size of leaves. With the results of the experiment our group was able to conclude that our alternative hypothesis was correct, implying that the shade leaves of the burr oak (Q. macrocarpa) are generally larger that its sun leaves. One way the group could have improved our study was to use the actual leaves from the tree. Instead we used photocopied leaves, which limited our actual data to a scale of what the actual leaves would have weighed. Another possibility to improve our study would have been to increase our sample size. Instead of using four leaves of each type we could have increased our sample

Biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) is the highest level of biosafety precautions, and is appropriate for work with agents that could easily be aerosol-transmitted within the laboratory and cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which there are no available vaccines or treatments.[7] BSL-4 laboratories are generally set up to be either cabinet laboratories or protective suit laboratories.[7] In cabinet laboratories, all work must be done within a class III biosafety cabinet.[7] Materials leaving the cabinet must be decontaminated by passing through an autoclave or a tank of disinfectant.[7] The cabinets themselves are required to have seamless edges to allow for easy cleaning. Additionally the cabinet and all materials within must be free of sharp

The site used for this study of tree density was located at Beaver Island (42 57.856 ° N latitude and 78 56.720° W longitude). A Garmin GPS 48 was used to determine the starting coordinates we were in, and a phone GPS was also used to confirm the coordinates .The flags were used as point markers for the distances we measured. While the measuring tape was used to accurately measure the distance from one flag to the next, and also to measure the circumference of the trees we were interested in.
