Redwood Exercise (Homework 3)
Here is part two of Homework 3, in which we found five observations of Moist Evergreen Forest plant and animal life.
For the moist evergreen part, I went to the part of campus between Gianini Hall and Haviland Hall, where there are a lot of redwoods and a branch of the Strawberry Creek sort of meanders past. So, I took a picture of a redwood (does this classify as moist evergreen, or a different type of environment? wasn't sure). And then I found a lot of plants with wide leaves and deep colors. They looked a lot healthier (obviously looks can be deceiving) than the chaparral plants, I guess because the air is more moist. There were ferns and ivy. And some cool fungi-moss type stuff on the ground. It's weird because I walk past that stuff nearly every day and never thought twice about it, but by the end of the exercise, every plant I saw I was sort of classifying it. Like, whether it would be chaparral or redwood or maybe something totally different.
