I initially made a table noting down the percentage of leaf color change for each of the five sections for the three trees I’m observing. I realized that the table was going to very long and almost a bit unnecessary. I finished it anyways and found a different way I could represent the same information. I mafe a new table with the same dates I took the observations, keeping humidity levels and time of observations. The only difference I made was making an average percentage of color change instead of having five different percentages for each tree. Now my table is more compact and easier to read.
Next I made a graph showing the color change over time. Three colors, one for each tree. It took a while to figure out how I was going to graph this and a way to assess it. There may be some changes later, bit everything seems pretty clear now.
The outcome was similar to what I expected, but I did wonder why these trees changed color slower than all the other trees. Could it have something to do with being in a highly maintained park by the city or is it because they were bigger trees compared to the other and were more able to collect resources they needed? Maybe it could be another reason too.
