  14. Independent Research For Example…

  15. Climate change

  16. Climate change

  17. Climate Change & Vernal Ponds

  18. Vernal Pond Communities

  19. Mean and Variance • Mean Water Level Water level Variance

  20. Study Location UVM Jericho Research Forest, Jericho, VT

  21. Field Methods • The experimental unit 34 (cm) 100 (cm) 50 (cm)

  22. Field Methods • Surface response design using two variables, mean water level and water level variability. Surface response 7 Levels of Water Variation 7 Levels of Water Fully crossed for 49 tubs ~1.5 m Means (cm): 6.6,9.9,13.2, 16.5,19.8, 23.1, 26.4 Coeffecients of Variation (C.V.): 0,.1,.2,.3,.4,.5,.6
