1 ECOLOGY MODULE FIELDWORK REPORT FOR LEAVING CERTIFICATE STUDENTS ECOSYSTEM HABITAT Name School Date
2 Experiments covered 1) To carry out quantitative and qualitative surveys of the habitat 2) To use simple keys to identify 5 plants and 5 animals in the habitat 3) Collecting animals in our habitat using collection equipment 4) To investigate 3 abiotic factors in the habitat Procedure for Habitat Study Task 1: Map and Orientation Tick when task/experiment is completed Exp 1: Quadrat study - % Cover Exp 2: Quadrat study - % Frequency Exp 3: Plant Identification Exp 4: Animal Identification Task 2: Check Pitfall Trap Exp 5: Line Transect and Abiotic Factors Task 3: Equipment Check and tidy-up 2
3 Task 1: Map and Orientation Location Weather Type of Habitat Habitat Map Do a rough sketch of the habitat. First draw in the boundaries, then note any important features. Don t forget your compass points! Legend 3
4 % Cover Exp 1: Quadrat study- % Cover Tip: Use the identification booklet provided to identify unknown plants. QUADRAT THROW % Cover PLANT Average %Cover Formula: Average % cover = total % in which a plant is present (sum of all quadrats) total number of quadrats Graph of results Plant Comment on your results: Which plants have the highest % cover? Name some ecological reasons why this is so Which plants have the lowest % cover? Name some ecological reasons why this is so 4
5 Exp 1: Method Describe how you carried out your % Cover Study. Remember: Use a step-by-step format. Don t forget to mention why and how you made your experiment random and unbiased. Diagram of Equipment Used 5
6 % Frequency Exp 2: Quadrat study- % Frequency Tip: Use the identification booklet provided to identify unknown plants. QUADRAT THROW Present/Absent PLANT % Frequency Formula: % frequency = number of quadrats in which a plant is present x 100 total number of quadrats 1 Graph of results Plant Comment on your results: Which plants have the highest % frequency? Name some ecological reasons why this is so Which plants have the lowest % frequency? Name some ecological reasons why this is so 6

12 Exp 4: Animal Collection Equipment Name 4 different types of animal collection equipment you used. Write down the use for them, and an example of animals you would find in them. Draw diagrams of the equipment in the spaces provided. 1) Name: DIAGRAM Use: Example: 2) Name: DIAGRAM Use: Example: 3) Name: DIAGRAM Use: Example: 4) Name: DIAGRAM Use: Example: Task 2: Pitfall Trap Make a note of the animals found in the pitfall trap. 12
13 Exp 5: Line Transect Line Transect Plant Light (lux) Soil temp Air temp Record Abiotic Factors in the habitat Abiotic Factors Soil ph Comment on your results: Does the light increase or decrease? Why? Does the temperature increase or decrease? Why? Which plants are ONLY growing at the beginning of the line? What does this tell you about these plants? Which plants are ONLY growing at the end of the line? What does this tell you about these plants? What plants are growing all along the line? What does this tell you about these plants? If the soil was a different ph, what would that mean for the habitat? How could you improve this experiment to make it more accurate? 13
14 Energy Flow in the Habitat Sample Food Chain Clover Snail Thrush Hawk Food Chain 1 Food Chain 2 Habitat Food Web Write down some animals and plants you found in the habitat in the boxes provided, then join them up with arrows based on who eats who. Snail Clover 14
15 Conclusion Suggested points to note: Were the results what you expected? Why/Why not? Were there any possible sources of error? How could we do the experiments more accurately? Identify some human impacts on the site. 15
