Lab 2: Woodlot Dataset 4

Group members: Harshvir Hehar, Amrutha Balamurgan, Olivia Kazmierczak, Adilah Ismail. This study took place at the Woodlots in York University. The sampling size of this study was 10 pairs (or 20 trees in total) of adult and sapling Maple trees that were randomly selected. We considered trees that had a diameter breast height of 3.5 and under a sapling maple tree and anything above 3.5 was considered an adult maple tree. This data was collected by walking around in the York Woodlots. We were looking around for a pair of an adult and sapling maple trees in close proximity to one another. The purpose of this study was to collect data regarding the distance between an adult maple tree and the closest sapling maple tree (how far the adult and sapling trees are from one another). The diameter breast height was taken of both the trees along with the adult tree’s coverage.
