Observation 6

Site: Snow King
Date: 5/21/08
Time: 4:13
Temperature: 41 deg
Weather: raining and cloudy
Wind: high
Soil: mody
Hypothesis:
Yesterday the weather was very high and deadly because the wind and rain was very brutal. The wind destroyed some branches on the trees because some trees were really old and weak. Although the rain was very high some organisms benefit from them. Because their is not water on my area is hard for some of the species to obtain this nutrients. Some trees had holes on their that were fill with water and benefit both the trees and some organisms that need. There were no birds around but the most common animals was the mouse and squirrels. The plants benefits from the rain because it made the soil more muddy. The abiotic factor were unharmed and able to stand the wind and rain to. The population of worms increase very high but the rain made the worms to came out the dirt because it made the dirt to slide inside of the road. In the way to my area there were worms everywhere and some were still alive and some were kill because of the cars that pass on the road. My hypothesis is that if more rain falls it will help but at the same time destroyed some of the species in the area. Although the worm population increase many of there will become bird food in a couple of days.

Great observations on the appearance of the worms in your area! Keep looking at the list of ecology terms to see what else you can incorporate into your observations!
