Aim : Should we or shouldnt we use deadwood as a source of fuel without having a negative impact for biodiversity?
Comparative study between two different kind of woodlands
Objectives: 2 or 3 objectives
Evaluate quality deadwood on SSSI woodlands
Evaluate quality of deadwood in managed woodlands
Methods: (past tense scientific language continuous sentence) 200-300 words
First two methods are for deadwood and the last two methods are for invertebrates identification
Small Deadwood collection : In managed woodland we took 4 different sites on each side weve got 25 M point & 50 M point so its not just a random tree or for a scientific purpose we went 15 M into the woods find the nearest tree as a starting point. Then we used 1 M2 in 5 M belt transect we collected the small deadwoods in every quadrats and weighed it. However in 3SI site slightly different method was used instead of dong 25 M & 50 M point we just choose one random tree that has clear area to avoid damaging the blue bells and stuff the rest is the same as in managed woodland
500 M2 survey for large deadwood we did a deadwood survey on 3 types of deadwood ( standing suspended fallen) went in 50 M from our quadrat starting point and survey the trees 5 M for each side ( right and left) we measured all 3 types of deadwoods (length and diameter) for standing and suspended trees we estimated the height against the average canopys tree
Decomposed log turning: we took a picture before & while turning the log measured length and diameter catch the invertebrates underneath or inside the log
We set up pitfall trap sampling technique in Y shaped : choose the decomposed log
We took GPS reading in every single point we did our methods
Introduction: -Why is it important?
From global issue (biodiversity climate change ecosystem services) to Caer Llan in south wales
Why deadwood management is an issue?
Focus: -Climate change and carbon management as an address (references)
How much green house emission that would save with wood rather coal or fossil fuel to meeting UK green house regulation targets
-What is the best use of it? (place the calculation of deadwood turn the volume into ton)
Answer: Both woodlands exceed that definitions therefore significant chance to use as a source of fuel without having a negative impact?
What sort of errors? Be factual: it would take very very long time not all insects could be catch why more methods used in managed woodland than SSSI etc.
Explicit to use deadwood in SSSI
Take a reasonable amount source of fuel wood
We know more deadwood in manaed woodland than SSSI therefore more creatures in managed wiidlands
Can you also make a graph : X axis = Number of species (and/or)
o Number of individuals found
Y axis = Sampling effort ( log turned or pitfall traps)
Would you use some SPSS to test some of the data between two different sites
Would you use science direct as a references as well please
