Introduction to My Place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Maps location: https:\/\/www.google<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Vegetation Description:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
