The area that I choose to observe is two area, that is close to home. Because I thought it would be more accessible and it would be easier for me visit anytime I want. I live in South Korea, Daegu. The location I choose first for the research is a park built in apartment complex I live in and the second is protected forestation area around nearby church. Although the apartment complex area is called a park, it is fairly small so it would be likely called as city street with ornamental trees and shrubs. The protected area nearby chuck is somewhat forested. I visited these area at December 14th, 2019 around 10:30 AM. The topography in apartment park is flat, while the protected area is small hill/ slope. The weather was sunny and temperature ranged around 8-9 degree celsius.
The idea I thought as I observed these area was mainly related to artificial intervention on nature, and can be pointed in majorly three points.
- Were the various plant types in the park in the apartment complex only possible due to artificial intervention? So, can plants under artificial intervention go against the theory of natural selection? If so, in how much degree?
- Compared to the park and other naturally formed plant landscape, a plant species thatis only at apartment complex park, Does this apply to artificial selection or invasive species?
- The apartment complex park continues to maintain a much more visually beautiful appearance due to the care of the caretaker, compared with other naturally formed plant landscapes. Does this affect communication between different species each other?
All of the questions are derived from one big idea; Whether artificial intervention affect ecology or not. From this main idea I will derive more specific points as I go through the research.
