Observation 8

Time: 7:28 pm
Weather: Storm Clouds
Temperature: 48 degrees

Over the course of these observations my area has gone through many transformations. As the weather warmed my area greatly increased in biodiversity with the appearance of moose, fox, insects, frogs, rodents, and many bird populations; I believe that the richness in biodiversity was mostly caused by the pond which offered good habitats, and encouraged the growth of flora life. As we have come towards the end of this study my areas biodiversity has begun to plateau with the loss of some species to the stormy weather. This also had affects on other species still living at the pond as the lost the food source of frogs to the bad weather. However, these storms also served to diversify the flora life. This increase in flora life provided more food for many animals, and also provided new shelters. As we get farther into summer I predict that my area will continue to change with the weather, and will remain an excellent area for both animals and plants.
