Moss
I've noticed that my soil area is primarily covered in moss on the soil. Even in dryer temperatures there is still moss, however it looks less green and not as healthy as it would during rainy months. In the rainy months (november, december, january, and a little bit of february) the moss would be a vibrant green and the soil is much more moist.
Location: Edgewood Park
My field study is located at Edgewood Park. I chose this area for many reasons, one being how close it is to where I live. I also chose this as a study area because Edgewood park is a
very diverse area. On one trail you can find dry grasslands, woodlands, creeks,
and well vegetated areas. My study area is in a woodland area which had many
different biotic and abiotic factors in it. Some immediate plants that I noticed were Oak Trees, moss, lichen, and long, tall grasses covering the majority of the area. At first I didn't see any animals, however I could hear many insects buzzing.
