  3. Goal • Mapping of specific areas of study in the manmade wetland • Identifying organisms found in randomly placed quadrats

  4. Materials • Perimeter flags • Piped quadrant • Marker pipes • Sharpie • Random numbers chart • Hammer • Map of wetland • Camera • Measuring tape & Boots! (:

  5. Procedure • Mapping of perimeters • Random placement of perimeter flags into two areas; outer land and inner water • Use of PVC quadrat to orient markers • Numbering and hammering of markers • Creating map of markers • Record percentage cover of plants present within each quadrat

  6. Results We found that, in both the dry and wet areas, the plants that were most common were: • Bacopacaroliniana • Distichlisspicata • Eleocharisgeniculata Also, in more than six of our eleven quadrants, the most abundant species were: • Bacopacaroliniana • Eleocharisgeniculata • Cyperus spp.

  7. Results: Common species % cover class: 1 0-1% 2 1-5% 3 5-25% 4 25-50% 5 50-75% 6 75-100%

  8. Common to the wetland Distichlisspicata Bacopacaroliniana Eleocharisgeniculata

  9. Common sedges Cyperusodoratus Cyperussurinamensis

  10. The End 
