Long-Term Habitat Study<\/h5>\n

For this assignment you are developing a study of a habitat that you could carry out over many years, even decades.\u00a0 \u00a0Select a habitat you could return to again and again.\u00a0 It could be relatively un-impacted by human activity like a wilderness area, something that is easily accessible like a city park, or even something human-made like an arboretum.\u00a0 The point is to watch nature change over time in expected and unexpected ways.\u00a0 It can be a habitat you impact, like volunteering to maintain trails, or one that you watch without intervention.\u00a0 It could be somewhere you take people to, or something that is just yours to study.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Include the following in your media piece:<\/p>\n

(1) First, select a habitat.\u00a0 Describe the habitat, explain why you have selected this habitat, and state how often you plan to return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(2) Next, predict the changes you expect to occur over different time intervals.\u00a0 For example, changes in organisms and\/or environmental conditions you would expect to see next year, in five years, and in a decade.\u00a0 These could be natural or human-induced changes and they can be small-scale or large scale.\u00a0 You will be looking back some day to see how accurate your predictions were.<\/p>\n

(3) Then, explain how you will collect data on these changes so you do not forget what you have observed from one time interval to the next.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Questions to consider: how will you observe changes?\u00a0 Will you take photos, journal your thoughts, and\/or make a video with you in it so you can also observe how you change as well?\u00a0 Do you expect to see succession, with the community of organisms changing over time?\u00a0 What kind of disturbances could occur?\u00a0 What organisms do you think you will see more of or fewer of?\u00a0 How will you be impacted if this habitat disappears or changes significantly over time?<\/p>\n

This media piece is a perfect fit for your portfolio so you can reference it in the future.\u00a0 Depending on how you develop this piece, it could possibly slot into Environmental Biology Concepts (observing succession over time), Environmental Biology Skills (describing a habitat in detail over time), or even Environmental Biology Connections (an art piece).<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
