Examining the Diameter/Condition of Trees from the Edge of a Woodlot to the Center.

Methods: The data was collected by using a transect measuring tape to make a straight line from the edge of the forrest to the center. When an adult tree was noticed along this line the distance from the edge was recorded as well as the diameter and condition of the tree.<br>Hypothesis: I predict that as you go deeper into the woodlot the diameter of the trees will increase and the condition will lead to more larger trees, because they will have more room to grow and be in a less disturbed area.<br>Study Site: Danby Woods, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.<br>Predictions:1) Trees deeper in the woodlot will be a lot larger.2)There will be more total trees deeper in the woodlot.(they will be closer together)3.There will be more huge green canopy trees near the center of the woodlot.<br>Metadata:Distance.Between.Consecutive.Trees: numerical- A research lab was conducted to measure the distance between consecutive trees throughout the woodlot using a transect measuring tape, in Danby Woods.Diameter.Of.Tree.At.Breast.Length: numerical- A research lab was conducted measuring the diameters of trees at breast length from the edge of a woodlot to the center, in Danby Woods.Condition.of.Tree: categorical- A visual survey was done to determine the condition of trees. Condition was identified as dead, living or having a huge green canopy, in Danby Woods.<br>Group Members:Sarah PecileNiusha TaatiLaura NatiRija Ghani<br>
