Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve

12 May, 04 AM - 12 May, 08 AM

The primary purpose of this field trip is to familiarize the students with native and non-native vegetation in southern california. The agenda has not been set but we would like to hike on the upper trail and part way down the lower trail. During the hike we may pick a few leaves from plants in order to examine them more closely. These will most like be plants such as the black sage, purple sage, and white sage and some of the larger shrubs like the chamise. One or two sage plants may be taken to show the students how to determine dry vs. wet weight. A small amount of soil from various locations may be taken in order to instruct the students in techniques involving moisture and nutrient analysis. It will be a small sample of no more than a few cubic centimeters from 2-3 different sites. Observational methods employing transects and quadrats will be used to estimate abundance and density of the vegetation as well.
