Mapping and Identifying Wetland Vegetation in Rijalda Porcic's Manmade Ecosystem

This project focuses on mapping specific areas of study within the manmade wetland and identifying organisms present in randomly placed quadrats. Using perimeter flags and a PVC quadrant, we recorded the plant species prevalent in both dry and wet areas. Our findings indicate that Bacopa caroliniana, Distichlis spicata, and Eleocharis geniculata were the most common species across quadrants. Additionally, we assessed the percentage cover of these plants, revealing their distribution and abundance in the wetland ecosystem.

  3. Goal • Mapping of specific areas of study in the manmade wetland • Identifying organisms found in randomly placed quadrats

  4. Materials • Perimeter flags • Piped quadrant • Marker pipes • Sharpie • Random numbers chart • Hammer • Map of wetland • Camera • Measuring tape & Boots! (:

  5. Procedure • Mapping of perimeters • Random placement of perimeter flags into two areas; outer land and inner water • Use of PVC quadrat to orient markers • Numbering and hammering of markers • Creating map of markers • Record percentage cover of plants present within each quadrat

  6. Results We found that, in both the dry and wet areas, the plants that were most common were: • Bacopacaroliniana • Distichlisspicata • Eleocharisgeniculata Also, in more than six of our eleven quadrants, the most abundant species were: • Bacopacaroliniana • Eleocharisgeniculata • Cyperus spp.

  7. Results: Common species % cover class: 1 0-1% 2 1-5% 3 5-25% 4 25-50% 5 50-75% 6 75-100%

  8. Common to the wetland Distichlisspicata Bacopacaroliniana Eleocharisgeniculata

  9. Common sedges Cyperusodoratus Cyperussurinamensis

  10. The End 
