The experience
Today
our plot was a man down, yet we persevered and completed our tasks with ample
time remaining. On this occasion our group stayed on task, and worked swiftly,
without the usual unnecessary chat. If there was something that we could have
improved on it would be spending more time on our silent observations. What our
group did surprisingly well was staying on task, we stayed positive even with
one man down, we had a better attention to detail, and worked as a team unit.
Working as a team unit was a great step for our group to make it sped up all
processes, and allowed all three of us to try different jobs.
The plot
When
we arrived at our plot we were astonished to have bright sunny skies for once.
The plot had drastically changed since our last visit, for instance our leaf
litter had gone down to one inch. Our soil samples revealed a much less water.
One of the largest changes was the buds on plants and trees. Another considerable
change was the water levels in Lake Ashenoca have lowered. On this outing
specimens of a gray tree frog, numerous unknown larvae, ferns, two types of
moss, and other assorted greens were brought back from the plot.
