Field Study #3
10.14.18
General 30 by 30 Plot Panorama
Leaves changing color and falling off the trees.
Water level of the creek definitely increased and it is several inches deeper now.
This picture shows the leaves in the creek and how it is slowing down the flow of the stream.
Taking water samples for phosphorus experiment.
Field Notebook:
- Date: October 14, 2018
- Time: 5:30
- Temperature: 55°
- Climate Conditions: light wind, no clouds
- Length of Day: 11 hours 6 minutes
- Interesting Observations: many more fallen leaves on the floor of the woods and the leaves are beginning to change colors
- What I heard: People passing by and leaves crunching underneath their feet, quiet ripple of the creek, cars driving past
- Pace of the Creek: Very slow because the leaves and sticks in the creeks slowed it down.
- Questions: The flow and pace of the creek was much slower today and I wonder if that will affect the phosphorus levels of the water sample?
Great pics. I like your question...good to be thinking about. Are you noticing patterns in the color change (location, species...)
