Phenology Assignment #4

The Phenology location I chose over break was a small patch of woods in my backyard next to an abandoned field. To be more specific this location is in southeast of Pennsylvania near the tristate area with Delaware and Maryland. There are not that many phenological differences that I observed in this location, as it is very similar to the original sight in salmon hole. One of the small differences that I noticed was that there were more trees in the new location that still had leaves, and there was still a good amount of green leafy underbrush.

Some ecological differences I noticed was that the new site has less noise pollution, and at night less light pollution. Another difference is the level of disturbance. In salmon hole the forest surrounding my location is grown in and has manny late succession trees like sugar maples. In the new spot the abandoned field is still in the early stages of succession as the main plant is tall grass and smaller shrubs.
