02/20 - 20°C
DayTime: 6:25~17:51 Time: ~11:00~
This is the first day of taking record, I see many different plants and animals when walking in the park, Like a tree with a small branch on the trunk and many cherry blossoms(The pic I took is too bad). Many kids and older people was sitting around those cherry blossoms trees and lake, so it is britty noisy and hard to take photos nearly there today.
02/25 - 17°C
DayTime: 6:20~17:54 Time: 09:34~10:15
Today, I take the picture of cherry blossom trees, it looks good, the cherry blossom in my home is already green now(it is a early kind), I am planning to keep track those trees in the next few observations.
02/27 - 19°C
DayTime: 6:19~17:55 Time: ~11:00~
Today we are working on a project with geo class, we are trying to find animals in different locations and to find them on a map. (痾?)
03/04 - 24°C / LightRain
DayTime: 6:14~17:58 Time:
I saw there are more green leaves and a little less flowers in the cherry blossom trees than the last time. The lake have more water in it now, so we can see that more turtles is coming up for sun.
Sun light is important for turtles, they rely on the sun's warmth and ultraviolet rays to digest their food, so they must stay on rocks for a while every day.
03/06 - 24°C / Raining - How could the data we collect contribute to broader scientific understanding of climate change impacts? How can we effectively communicate our findings to a wider audience?
No no-site observation
The phenological data we collect can contribute to the broader scientific understanding of the impacts of climate change. We are recording the data of plants and animals at different points in time. These observations are useful indicators of how the environment are responding to climate change.
Specifically, the data we collect can help...
Finding the impact of climate change on environment: By tracking how natural events change over time, we can understand the direct impacts of climate change on species.
Creating a long-term trend analysis: Comparing the data we collect with historical records can find a long-term trends in phenological events, for example, plants are flowering earlier.
Help ecological model development: Our data can help to create a ecological models, helping scientists predict the future change on ecosystems.
Support citizen science: When we combine data from different people and times(from neer areas), we can find out how the environment has changed over the years.
The phenological data we collect might have the opportunity to become an important contribution to climate change research, helping us better understand and respond to the challenges of climate change. As long as the research results are clear enough and near to those people, they will naturally pay attention to this.
03/11 - 24°C / Sunny
DayTime: 6:07~18:01 Time: 9:00~9:35
I saw there are more green leaves and a little less flowers in the cherry blossom trees than the last time, most trees don't have any flowers on it(pic1). In the pic under pic1, the cherry tree still have about 85% of flowers, they are different kind of cherry tree, it is a bit more pink.
03/18 - 16°C / Sunny
DayTime: 6:07~18:01 Time: 9:05~9:35
This time, we can see more colorful flowers in the bushies, and now we and see more green leaf on the cherry blossom trees, so that I think the amount of butterflies and bugs might increase in the next time.
03/25 - 27°C / Sunny
DayTime: 5:03~18:07 Time: 9:05~9:35
Today is a very very hot day. I saw more little flowers on the land and more butterflies flying around there, for example, the yellow flower in the photo isn't there at the last time. Because of the heat, there are less flowers on the compare to the last time again.
04/01 - 20°C / Cloudy
DayTime: 5:46~18:10 Time: 9:05~9:30
Today is a comfortable day compares to many days near, We are now moving to the middle of spring, this time, I start to see more bugs and butterflies beside the flowers.
04/08 - 24°C / Sunny
DayTime: 5:39~18:13 Time: 9:05~9:35
This time we saw a tree with special red leafs. In the memory of me, They should be new growing out, this tree have fewer leaf compare to the other big trees with green leaf near it, and have a smaller tree trunk. This time the amount of bugs increase again, but butterfly didn't.
04/10 - 24°C / Raining - If you were a wildlife manager, how would you use phenological data to help protect local animal populations?
No no-site observation
Data is important for wildlife managers, their goal is to create a better and more balanced environment for animals to live in, they need to let people to understand what are they doing, so that they will need the phenological data to show other people. In their work, they need phenological data to know how should they do to improve the environment, when they see a wired increase or decrease of a particular species, they will need to find out the reason to fix the issues.
04/15 - 28°C / Sunny
DayTime: 5:32~18:16 Time: 9:10~9:35
This time the tempercher comes up again, green leafs coming back on the Acer. The amount of water in the lake decrease, and the amount of turtle on the small island decases, the result is the flip of 03/04.
Duo to the observations I had done, I see that the temperature and the condition of different plants changes very fast compare to my thoughts before.
04/22 - 30°C / Sunny
DayTime: 5:25~18:19 Time: 9:10~9:35
People are cleaning the pool today, they move the fishes to another area and removes the water in the pool.

05/06 - 30°C / Sunny
DayTime: 5:15~18:26 Time: 9:05~9:35
The amount of mosquitoes, especially those that gather together, have increased significantly. It seems to be their mating season now, when mating, mosquitoes gather together in large numbers.
The water in the lake is now clean and clear compare to before, we can see the fishes under the water now and Lotus is the lake is now growing, they usually start to have flower at early summer.
