Req 8c6b1 — Choosing Two Transect Sites
8c6b1.
Visit two sites, at least one of which is different from the one you visited for Field Botany requirement 1.
The best transect study compares sites that are clearly different. Good examples include forest edge versus forest interior, dry slope versus streamside ground, or mowed field versus native meadow.
Choose sites that are safe to access and long enough for a 500-foot transect. Before you commit, walk both areas and ask yourself whether the vegetation really changes from one place to the other.
