Field Study #4
10.30.18
General 30 by 30 Plot Panorama
I found this green moss growing on two logs near by each other in my plot.
More leaves falling the creek further slowing own the stream.
Water level is rising so the island in the middle of the creek is getting smaller.
Field Notebook:
- Date: October 30, 2018
- Time: 6:00
- Temperature: 60°
- Climate Conditions: moderate wind, total cloud cover
- Length of Day: 10 hours 20 minutes
- Interesting Observations: more leaves on the ground and in the creek that slows the pace of the stream, locations where there was higher vegetation in August are seeing more dry dead plants, water level and depth is rising (almost covered the middle of the creek where there used to be an island)
- What I heard: People walking and cars driving past
- Pace of the Creek: moderate pace (video included above)
- Question: While checking my plot of land I noticed more leaves in the creek the slowed the pace of the stream. Will this have an effect on the phosphorus levels of the water sample that I took?
Great question about the leaves and phosphorus! Make a note of it when you take your data! Great pics. Are you noticing patterns in where the color change or leaf fall is first/last. Does the location or the species matter?
