Mor humus (Banner et al, 2014). In comparison, the montane variant of CWHwh, CWHwh2, covers approximately 7% of Haida Gwaii’s total land area and is found at higher elevations, between 350 and 600 m (Banner et al., 2014). Presence of the yellow-cedar tree is one of the key features of the montane variant that distinguishes it from the submontane variant (Banner et al., 2014). However, other distinguishing features of CWHwh2 include the presence of heron’s-bill and liverwort mosses (Grayston,…

Book Poster The tree in my poster was resembling the mockingbird’s home. Just like Maycomb is to Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. With the tree I went for a drawn one because I felt that it resembled the book. It does so because the book is just a story and an “imaginary” one. The drawn tree is also not real and “imaginary,” just like the story. I chose a black and white one because that is how I pictured the story in my head. I chose grey as a color for the rectangles because everything or…

where the dominant tree species in the location has attained a very old age. Ecologically, old growth forest is very important, therefore, measurements and indexes should be used to reflect the value these habitats hold. I suggest that an old-growth habitat index be used to reflect the “old-growth quality” of the upland and floodplain regions in Prospect Park. Most “old-growth” indices capture multiple qualities of the trees such as trees with dbh’s of over 100cm, diversity of tree sizes,…

A study done in Laskeek Bay on East Limestone and Reef Island looked at the effect of Sitka-black tailed deer on the Sitka spruce tree. The study found that while the deer do like to browse the younger spruce seedlings, once the apex of the tree exceeds 1.2 m in height, the tree is able to escape the deer (Vila, Torre, Guibal & Martin, 2003a). However, in the presence of deer it takes 13 – 18 years for the young spruce to reach the necessary height, this…

desolation, beauty, despair, and some hope. While for me nature signifies youth, freedom, hope, life and comfort. While I respected Murphy’s series and messages he was conveying, the one particular photo that stood out the most to me was an image of a tree. Out of the entire series this was the photo that symbolized nature in a light that was calm and comforting. For me, personally, it reminded me of those whimsical times I spent in the wood during my childhood. Through the natural lighting…

spruce, and Western red cedar dominate Haida Gwaii’s forests (Banner et al., 2014). However, the deciduous red alder tree dominated the forest at the beginning of the trail as the earlier part of the trail was new growth. This is because red alder thrives in disturbed sites such as old logging areas, and it is fast growing (Pojar & MacKinnon, 1994). According to Tollas, the red alder tree contains a brownish red dye that was used for cedar weaving. Next up was the Western hemlock, Tollas…

The main objective of this study was to determine whether the rate of cavitation in xylem channels correlates with tree height by measuring the water tension from leaves at the top against leaves from the bottom of Acer Platanoides (Norway Maple) trees. We hypothesized that water tension would be higher at the top of trees than at the bottom. The secondary focus was to determine if varying water tension would affect the structural composition of leaves. In order to identify a relationship, we…

Reaching a goal and the work it takes to get there can be a long, trying process. My goal is to put together a win to make it to the National FFA Competition on the FFA Nursery Landscape team. I have competed on the Nursery Landscape team from the time I was a freshman. As a team of three freshmen and one sophomore, our main goal was to place as high as we could as individuals which would help our team score. At the State Convention, I wanted to place in the top twenty as an individual. Before…
