Individual Ecology
Level 1: Individual Ecology
We will measure 3 characteristics of individuals in 3 locations along the Upper Winter Creek trail. We will measure DBH (Diameter at Breast Height), tree height, and leaf size. Each team will have to choose their own methods for each measurement and be sure to verify the precision, accuracy and bias. There is a freeware Image J program developed by the NIH described in a file attached to this module for leaf area measurement but you are welcome to try any app or other method you prefer.
Level 2: Population Ecology
We will document age structure using the DBH data and we will measure dispersion of the population. Once again each team will choose a method for each. 2 methods for calculating dispersion are described in file attached to this module.
Level 3: Community Ecology
We will measure species richness and species diversity using a species count and a calculation each of which, once again, will determined by each team.
The final product will be a scientific poster with all of your data and and explanation of the synthesis of all 3 levels of ecology we sampled. This will be communicated as a concept map with graphs of your data verifying the relationships among the components. This is the first step in making a predictive systems model, like a climate model.
