This file has been started to present some of the information we have acumulated on the pool in order to stimulate students to raise further questions and devise problems that can be investigated at the pool. It is also intended to be part of a cumulative digital legacy that those examining the pool can pass on to future students.
-
- Students recording the details of Pool 3.
-
- A general view of the pool. The diatom covering makes it brownish colored. Note grazing effect near the cracks where the amphipods live. May, 2002.
-
- For measurement of surface area, this meter stick provides a reference.
-
- In May 2004 the biology class measured featurs of several pools. They are here at pool 3.
-
- Profile of the pool
Some ideas to consider:
- This pool is very shallow and has a very low biodiversity. Diatoms, amphipods and a few barnacles live here. Since it is only a few centimeters higher up the shore than pool 4, note how elevation makes a significant impact on the abiotic factors of Temperature and salinity.
