Transect

In their research article, Graham and Linda Forrester, Lianna Jarecki, and Rebecca Flynn explored the effects of an anchoring event on a coral reef at Crab Cove in the British Virgin Islands. With an increase in tourism, recreational boat traffic has increased and some boaters don’t think about where their anchor is going when they throw it overboard. On July 7th, 2004, a 50 meter vessel named the Holo-Kai anchored overnight on the reef. The heavy chains and three anchors used to hold the…

classified as a Cumberland Plain Woodland. A healthy ecosystem has 15% to 20% herbivory, in the terrestrial ecosystem it had an average of 33.5% herbivory. In the terrestrial ecosystem, to illustrate the distribution a transect and a transect study was used. From the 160m transect study. Four types of trees were found, E. crebra, E. mollucana, M. decora and C. glauca. To illustrate the abundance, quadrat sampling was used. The quadrat sampling and the biodiversity survey showed that Longneck…

Lick Creek Park is located in southeast College Station, TX, and consists of 515 acres of habitats associated with the Post Oak Savanna and Hardwood Forest vegetation zone. The park transects the valley walls of the Lick Creek flood plain, a major tributary to the Navasota River. The park contains an “alluvial hardwood forest, open marshland, oxbow meadows, upland oak forest, and sandy prairies.”(Lick Creek Park 2016) Before the park was established, it was used to pasture cattle and thus was…

The study, “Scale-dependent habitat use of Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens) in central Ohio” by Marja H. Bakermans and Amanda D. Rodewald, published in 2006, examines the selection of habitat across three spatial scales and the effects of understory arthropod biomass, vegetation structure and breeding productivity. As human populations grow and urban development increases desirable habitat for many habitat-specific species decreases resulting in population declines. It is important to…

vegetation were to occur at the beginning of the transect line, they would be impacted by the strong wave action, which contains high volumes of salinity in it, which then affects the nutrients in the sand making it inefficient for plant growth. The spinifex plant was the first identifiable vegetation, and it was only present in the foredunes. They are distributed here as their extensive roots work together to bind the sand. Their positioning along the transect line makes the spinifex subjected…

Referring to the profile of each individual transect it is evident that an abiotic factor affecting the entire ecosystem was the dumping of litter; as there was more than one-hundred pieces of litter in only the groups specified transects. More specifically, a disturbing abiotic factor affecting the geology of the soil and quality of the water was an oil spill that was noted to have emerged…

data from multiple students can be messy. Field data can also be entered wrong or mis-understood. One example of interpreting field instructions wrong would be: the transect width for sites LLL and MLL were six meters wide, while site HLL was also required to be a six meter wide transect many groups sampled a two meter wide transect for HLL. (Two meter wide HLL site data was removed from the data analysis. Only six meter wide data was used in this report). In the future I would like collect more…

Abundance of False Brome invasion in relation to distance from Oak Creek Apachino Villarreal Introduction Invasive species have been introduced to many ecosystems and can have detrimental effects due to their dominance and ability to spread easily. When an invasive species is introduced to a new ecosystem, it begins spreading and outcompeting the smaller species and creating a new type of vegetation that is not beneficial to the community. An introduced species can spread differently based on…

On the transect, I have noted the different features of the street. It shows that many businesses are located on this street, which is quite a contrast to the derelict pubs/hotels and terraces that can also be found on the same street. It is made clear, that in…

extremity prostheses are also used in a multitude of different levels of amputation, such as a hip, knee, foot, or toe. These prosthetic devices are divided into two main subcategories which are titled trans-tibia and trans-femoral. Any amputation that transects the femur bone or birth defect that causes femoral deficiency is in need of a trans-femoral prosthesis, which is an artificial limb…
