Observation #5

Date: May 21, 2008

Time: 3:50

Temperature: 43˚

Weather Conditions: Rainy

Soil Conditions: Wet



Since the weather condtions have caused so much moisture, the flora in the area have bloomed. The Aspens in the area are now officially blossomed and the grass is green and lush. The variations of the flora all compete with one another. Between the Aspens, intraspecisfic competition is shown. With a limmited amount of space, the Aspens need to work against one another.



The change in the weather has also shown a change in the fauna as well. The herds of elk and deer have not been seen as often as the previous observations. This is because of the weather variations like the snow. When the spring hits, the mamals no longer need to be further dow the mountains to find the resources they need.
