Initial date collected went over all as predicted. On average the partly sheltered trees had amount a 50 50 ratio of living and dead moss growing on the tree trunks. The 5 trees observed were selected by simple random technique and locations were easy to find. In total took about 30 minutes. Will continue to use the simple random technique when observing 10 trees each from the 3 categories (sheltered, partially sheltered, and exposed).
(Exposed trees are trees that have very littler branches covering the trunk of the tree to the weather at the park)
