Biome
Project 2002
Purpose
of the Study
The
purpose of the field study at Peter’s Woods in Centreton, Ontario, was
to give our class a better understanding of a “forest system.” This was
an excellent study in that we were able to learn about the Abiotic and
Biotic data of a virgin forest, which is typical of the temperate deciduous
biome in our area. To accomplish the field study, our class split up into
groups of four, and each member of the group was responsible for collecting
different data. In our group, Matt was responsible for the Abiotic
data, Karl was responsible for the Biotic data, Lauren was responsible
for taking pictures, and Greg was responsible for the web-site design.
Each group then picked a 10m by 10m quadrate area of the forest to conduct
their research in. After the field study, each group compared their
collected data to average out their findings. The field study took
place over one day, and we were able to enjoy the day out in the great
outdoors. |
