Blog Post 7: Theoretical Perspectives
Since my last blog post I have completely changed by study focus and sampling design. For my new project I will be looking at how sun exposure effects the growth of Fescue grass (Festuca L.). The study area for this project is the same as the previous study, which is the Student Services Building (SSB) courtyard at Durham College (DC) located in Oshawa, Ontario.
Seeing that my study aims to examine factors influencing the growth of grass, some ecological processes that my study may touch on may include photosynthesis, soil composition and rainfall. There are many factors and processes that effect the growth of grass and sun exposure is only one factor to consider. During my observations and data collection so far, the effects of sun exposure do have significant impact on the growth of fescue grass.
Three key words that could be used to help identify this work could include: Festuca L., sun exposure, grass growth
