Marsh+Creek+Big+Sweep+Udai 

At the Prairie Ridge Ecostation, it was quite fascinating of the scenery there. The entire station was in the back woods, and the amount of preservation for the station was quite obvious. The event that I attended was the Micro World Exploration. In this event, we got to use a quadrat to see what sort of creatures were in there. It was astonishing with the number of little critters that there were running around on such a microscopic level.

This relates to environmental science in that we used quadrats in another way just last quarter. We used them to study how distributions of trees work in the forestry lab. Using the quadrat in this case, it is obvious that they can be used to understand the distribution of just about any organism in the environment.
