Introduction to My Place:
Google Maps location: https://www.google
My phenology site is located in Centennial Woods. It is a partial overhang, it is towards the middle of a reasonably inclined portion of the trail. It is approximately a five-minute walk from the trailhead. I selected this spot because it is quite forested. However, it still has a reasonable amount of sunlight coming through the canopy reaching the ground. So this has resulted in this space having a variety of larger woody plants and smaller, younger woody plants and ground cover. I thought this might be interesting to watch evolve over the next few months as the smaller vegetation grows and is affected by the changes in the weather.
Vegetation Description:
The vegetation at my phenology site varies between smaller saplings and ground-cover shrubbery, as well as established trees. I observed a significant number of white oak trees, both older and younger plants. Additionally, there were several invasive woody plants that I identified, including morrow’s honeysuckle and buckthorn. The woody plant vegetation still has many leaves intact with some slight seasonal color changes.
Common Woody Plants:
- White Oak, Section Quercus
- Paper Birch, Betula papyifera
- Red maple, Acer rubrum
- American Fly honeysuckle, Lonicera canadensis
- Beech Tree, Genus Fagus
- Buckthorn, Genus Frangula
