Plant Ecology and Geography students learn about the distribution of dominate shrub species based on Slope Aspect (compass direction of the slope face) at three stations of each; North-facing or South-facing slopes. Students compare measurements of soil temperature, air temperature, trail temperature, soil moisture and relative humidity at these six stations within the reserve and determine if there are patterns of plant distribution between the two slopes.
