Jessie Biology Field Study

November 15, 2017 Today, I have waited until the last day and it is yet again, sprinkling. The water levels lowered from the river and the tree is back on land. It is warmer than the usual for this week today at 47 degrees fareinheight. It sounded like rain and there wasn't fish jumping in the river. Sunset is at 5:21 PM.

Thursday, October 26, 2017 Today was the coldest day since Spring break. It was pretty chilly this morning at 32* but during the day it was mid 40s with a high of 55. It is sunny. However, this past weekend, Sunday,Monday, and Tuesday especially it was pouring, a lot of water and flooding around the area. Wrote that part before actually going there. Update: IT IS FLOODED. The third trial testing spot on my tree is underwater. The Water is almost up to my waste and the tree was 2 feet away from the river originally. Sunset today is at 6:44PM and the day is 10 hours, 33 minutes long. this is a graph showing the moisture in the soil today this is a graph showing the change in moisture from September. These pictures were taken at 6:12PM

October 14, 2017 Today is rainy and cloudy. While I was fielding it was pouring. Not sprinkling lightly, pouring. the temperature is 61 degrees Fahrenheit. Today I couldn't hear the birds or the crickets. I could hear the rain though. The water was moving a little bit because of this. This is a map of the soil moisture in mm of the area using the data collected from yesterday.  This is a map of the precipitation within the past 24 hours in the Midwest. 

September 29, 2017 5:45 PM today is 11 hours, 49 minutes long Today while I was fielding, it was windy, sunny, and 62. It was in the 80s all week and today and yesterday have cooled down. This map shows the change from the last blog post to this one in terms of the subsoil moisture. As shown, you can see how the ground has dried out in Michigan. This is a map of the moisture in the ground from today.  Precipitation in the Midwest from the past 24 hours

September 5, 2017 5:35 PM .        The day is 12 hours 53 minutes long. Today while I was fielding, it was 63 degrees and sprinkling with a light breeze rustling the leaves of the trees. This is a map of the precipitation levels within the past 6 hours to show how much water the tree has gotten.  This is a map of the wetness of the sub-soil to show how much water the roots of the trees are                                                                            absorbing.                                                                 this is a video of some of the sounds that I could here If you can't hear, there are frogs in the shallow water right in front, birds in the trees all around, fish jumping in the water and crickets in the bushes and short grass in front Pictures of the area I am standing in: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bmqwcAPC19adrVyoFaJmjxtD6dBbmHAoAfSdKwhJFWI/edit

            This is an overhead view/map of my area A pano of where I take my data. The tree with the ladybug ribbon is the tree that I am doing tests on. This is a video explaining the layout of the park from the standpoint of the tree/ the area I can see from where I am standing
