While at my site for the last time this year I noticed a few things. First I noticed that underneath the hemlock trees there are no grasses coming up from under the leaf litter that covers the ground. Then there are grasses growing right where the canopy cover of the hemlocks stops. At my place […]

On my visit to my phenology site, I was focused on the habitat and the possible species that could use this location as a home. Specifically I was looking for a habitat that amphibians could use and live in. While I didn’t see any amphibians, the habitat did appear to be suitable for them. The ground […]

Before break there was little snow and not much evidence of animal activity. This last time was after the large snows had fallen and the fluctuating […]

Using Wetland, Woodland, and Wildland, (WWW) I have determined that my phenology sit spot is Upland Forest and Woodland.

Also, looking at the canopy cover, it is greater than 60% covered meaning that according to WWW it can […]

Today I created an Event Map to help show what it is like while visiting my sit spot. It made me think about my senses and more about what is happening around me. Since the last time at my Sit Spot, there have been a few changes to the scenery. One of the changes was that […]

I hope that this isn’t graded on artistic ability, but here is my bird’s eye view of my Sit Spot. Since the last time at my sit spot, there have been a few minor changes to the vegetation. For example, now there are many more leaves on the ground covering the forest floor, along with […]

For my Phenology Sit Spot, I decided to go to Centennial Woods. I was already slightly familiar with the paths from our previous NR1 assignment in the woods so I knew the general location of where I wanted to go. To get there, it is a short 10 minute walk from my dorm room on […]
