Above is a birds-eye view of my phenology spot. It includes all the trees, plants, and fallen trunks that are in the area. The circular shapes in the water are rocks. This is because the steam is fairly shallow. Something that I noticed when returning to the place this time was an increase in sediment in the stream. I think this is because of the lack of rain. The water hasn’t been flowing fast, which left room for mud to collect on and in the rocks. There was also an increase in leaves on the ground that dropped from the trees. Even the ferns were wilted because of the drop in temperature. It’ll be interesting to see what happens as the weather continues to get “worse”.
