Sedgwick Reserve

13 May, 03 AM - 13 May, 09 AM

We would like to bring the plant field ecology class to Sedgwick Reserve on April 1, April 29, and May 13, each day from noon to 4 pm. On the first two trips, we want to study the consequences of fire for plant communities by comparing a burned and unburned slope in the lower part of the reserve (near John Orrock's old plots). To do this, we would like to measure the composition of the seed bank by collecting small seed bank samples and run transects to measure plant composition, in burned and unburned areas. We also did this project in the springs of 2008 and 2009. For the third field trip, we want to take the students to Jonathan's field project on the serpentine hummocks and have them perform measurements in his plots to quantify the strength of niches in these annual plant communities.
