Extended Abstract Outline Your Name ENVS-260-section number *Insert Title here* Keywords: • • Place between 3-6 terms here that you think the reader of the abstract might not know off the top of their head Definitions can come from non-scholarly sources, no Wikipedia please! Introduction: • • • Necessary background information o Ecosystem services, importance of trees o Try and make sure these sources are relatively local to the DC area! This is where you can tie in some of your scholarly sources. Tie in information about the importance of trees, green space etc Make your last sentence your hypothesis (if/then statement) o If you need examples of hypothesis let me know! So the experiment is to measure the carbon biomass of those trees based on the data we collected. We have 5 people in the group, measured 30 trees totally, including DBH HIGH of the tree,latitude and longitude. TOOLS: 1. 2. Methods • • • Well- written in paragraph format, all experimental details are covered, but not in as much crazy detail. Appropriate controls or replication are present and explained Should not be longer than a short paragraph、 How to find the biomass from DBH and height of tree species in a forest ecosystem? There are many methods for the carbon stock estimation and sequestration. Here, I want to know the method/procedure to find out the carbon biomass from known DBH (diameter at breast height) and height of the tree species in a forest ecosystem. I also want to know how to analyse these results? Standard procedures are available for calculating volume and in turn biomass from dbh & tree height. You may refer any standard text book on forest mensuration. It is also possible to find out carbon biomass using standard procedures. However, what approach is most suited depends on aspects such as the the extent of area of the ecosystem , species/ species mix and size class distribution Results, Data, Figures, Graphs • • • • All figures are made correctly, with all axises labeled and a clear title. Small caption after the chart explaining what the graph is showing. NO ANALYSIS! Data is relevant, and contributes to the abstract NOTE: Figures do not go towards your page count, so if you have a lot of relevant graphs, send them all in. Discussion • • • • All important trends and data comparisons have been interpreted correctly and discussed, conveying an insightful understanding of the results Limitations of the experiment described o Things like human error, bad weather, crazy stuff that shouldn’t have happen Future studies based on your results You can have outside sources here if you think it benefits your discussion! Conclusion • • A sentence or two wrapping up your paper. Make sure this is labeled as a conclusion somehow. o Either place it under a conclusion heading or end your abstract with “in conclusion” or something similar. References: • • Have a references or works cited section, if you don’t your paper will be counted for having plagiarism. Use whatever style of citation you want except for footnotes. NOTES: Style • • Good grammar, correct spellings All sections are complete and show notable effort Overall Aim • • You show that you understand the lab fully You demonstrated scientific understanding and reasonsing At the end of each experiment this semester, you will write an extended abstract to describe your experimental design, your results and interpretations, and connect your research to other research in the field. The extended abstract will include all the sections of most other scientific abstract, but because this is the only writing you will do for this experiment, your abstract must include more detail about your experimental designs, results, and interpretations. Additionally, you will present figures to accompany your results and interpretations and references to highlight the outside research you used. Your extended abstract should include, and introduction, objective, methods, results, conclusions, key words, figures, and references and a well-organized, detailed, and concise abstract is favored over a wordier, less specific abstract. (Note: please do not add section headings, such as Introduction or Methods. Instead, use your space for your writing). # Tree 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Tree Type decid evergreen decid decid evergreen decid decid decid decid evergreen evergreen evergreen decid decid decid decid decid decid decid evergreen decid decid decid decid evergreen evergreen evergreen decid decid decid DBH 4 feet 8 inches 1 foot 8 inches 3 feet 3 inches 4 feet 6 inches 2 feet 7 inches 5 feet 9 inches 8 feet 7.5 inches 7 feet 6.6 inches 2feet 6inches 4 feet 7 inches 3 feet 4 inches 4 feet 4 inches 7 feet 1 foot 4 2 foot 4 1f. 2.4inch 1f. 4.3 inch 1f. 9 inch 1f. 3 inch 1f. 1f. 4.75 inch 1f.3.4inch 1f. 7 inch 1f.4 inch 1f. 8 inch 1f. 0.5 inch 1f. 6 inch 1f. 3.5 inch 1f. 8.5 inch 1f. 6.7 inch Height 6 6.8 7.3 9.2 11 10.8 12 13 6.4 7 13 20 11.6 6.8 8.2 3.2 3.6 3.4 3.9 3.7 3.4 3.2 3.2 3 4.6 4.8 4 3.4 4.6 3.4 Latitude 38°56'8 N 325NW 38°56'8 N 256W 38°56'8''N 271W 38°56'7'' N 183S 38°56'8''N 358N 38°56'8''N 13N 38°56'8''N 339N 38°56'8''N 304NW 38°56'15''N 7 38°56'11 38°56'11 38°56'11 N 88E 38°56'11 N 88E 38°56'11 N 88E 38°56'11 N 88E 38°56'11 N 222SW 38°56'11 N 338 N 38°56'11 N 100 E 38°56'11 N 88E 38°56'11 N 203SW 38°56'11 N 32NE 38°56'11 N 80E 38°56'11 N 214 SW 38°56'11 N 73 E 38°56'11 N 241 SW 38°56'11 N 251W 38°56'11 N 139 SE 38°56'11 N 243 SW 38°56'11 N 207 SW 38°56'11 N 312 NW Longitude 77°5'30'' W 77°5'30''W 256W 77°5'30''W 77°5'30''183 77°5'34''N 358N 77°5'34''W 13N 77°5'34''W 339N 77°5'34''W 304NW 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 222 SW 77°5'28 W 338 N 77°5'28 W 100E 77°5'28 W 88E 77°5'28 W 203SW 77°5'28 W 32 NE 77°5'28 W 80E 77°5'28 W 214SW 77°5'28 W 73E 77°5'28 W 241SW 77°5'28 W 251W 77°5'28 W 139SE 77°5'28 W 243SW 77°5'28 W 207SW 77°5'28 W 312NW Crown dimension Carbon Sequestered ($) $9.87 $0 $8.75 $9.87 $0 0 9.87 9.87 $11.86 0 0 0 9.87 6.76 12.04 5.78 6.76 10.15 6.14 0.3 7.24 6.39 8.74 6.76 0 0.2 0 6.45 9.8 8.54 CO2 of carbon annually CO2 stored (lbs) to dateLifetime ($) CO2 equivalent of Carbon (lbs) 424.57 $1,760.12 75681.56
