Experiment 7 : To check humidity and temperature

temperature: dry bulb, 1st attemp= 27, 2nd attempt=27, 3rd attempt=26.5... so average 27

temperature: wet bulb, 1st attempt=26.5, 2nd attempt= 25.5, 3rd attempt= 25.5.. average 26

humidity : range between 12.29 to 12.31



RESULT FOR EXPERIMENT 2

Refer to handout for the procedure:

TABLE. TABLE OF QUADRAT NUMBER

* NAMING OF THE SPECIES IS NOT NECESSARY AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO NAME THEM WITH A, B, C, AND SO ON…

*FROM HERE IT IS DIFFICULT IF WE WANT TO CALCULATE THE SPECIES COVER. SO MY SUGGESTION IS U GUYS CALCULATE ONLY THE SPECIES DIVERSITY (USING ABUNDANCE TABLE, WE ARE NOT USING QUADRAT FOR THIS BECAUSE FOREST CONSIST OF LARGE TREES WHICH WILL BE DIFFICULT TO RELY ON QUADRAT), SPECIES FREQUENCY AND SPECIES DENSITY (USING QUADRAT TABLE). U ALSO WILL BE EXPECTED TO CALCULATE RELATIVE DENSITY AND RELATIVE FREQUENCY. U ALSO WILL BE EXPECTED TO EXPLAIN WHY IT IS HARD TO CALCULATE THE SPECIES COVER IN THE AREA THAT WE CHOOSE. OK.

*DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE A FEW PICTURES IN THE REPORT TO SHOW THAT IT IS A HIGH ABUNDANCE SPECIES AREA.

* IN YOUR REPORT IT IS UP TO YOU ON HOW TO ORGANISE UR REPORT. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DO ONE BY ONE ACTIVITY ( MEANING DESCRIBE PROCEDURE AND RESULT TOGETHER FOR THE ACTIVITIES ONE BY ONE) OR SPLIT THE PROCEDURE, RESULT, AND DISCUSSION FOR EACH ACTIVITIES ( MEANING WRITE ALL THE PROCEDURE FOR EACH ACTIVITY FIRST, THEN THE RESULT FOR EACH ACTIVITY, THEN DISCUSSION FOR EACH ACTIVITY).
