At first I wasn’t sure how I would measure the change in leaf colour with changes in humidity levels, but I think measuring the percentage of changed leaves this way is going okay. I couldn’t think of another efficient way of collecting this data. After four observations and noting down the humidity levels each day of observation, I may need to do more, perhaps every day or two, instead of three days like what I’m doing currently. This way, I may be able to see changes more steadily than a big change. I’m also going to bring out a humidity detector to more accurately measure the humidity in the park at that time.
I am surprised to see though, that leaves at the top of the tree changed much faster than those closer to the bottom. As well as seeing that leaves further on the outside of the branches change faster than the inner parts of the branches, where it is also more dense.
I’m not sure if I’ll keep how the data is shown in a table, but there is a way to better sum up all the information with a different visual.
