Finally Ready for Action!

|

Today we finally established our revised study.  We found 12 areas of reforestation in Leaves and Lizards.  We labeled them and took pictures of them.  We also started categorizing tree species found all over the reserve, not just in our twelve points.  We also decided on parameters of what we will describe our twelve sections with.  They include grass percentage, proximity to water, distance from plants, patch type, area, % slope, dominant plant, and disturbance.  We will also look at the role and importance of all species found.

The pictures are three standard examples of the type of description we will give for each species of plant we encounter.

I always wanted to be a tree-hugger...

Hola,
   We are the plant group who decided to start practicing our Spanish for the Costa Rica field ecology class.  We are the fantastic senior bio students at UD and our names are: Lorea, Mary, and Chris G for the money...We are really excited to go to Costa Rica to help Leaves and Lizards reforest their property.  We will be looking at the various plant types and recording them.
