Introduction Bio 2010 01/31/2014

Characteristics of the transect: The transect is located at the Washington Seminary at American University. The transect is a circular plot of plant growth with trees growing out from it. Under the plant growth was rich damp soil which would be perfect conditions to support life, however a weed type growth of plants suffocate the area. Within the growth there were fallen leaves from the trees, sticks, and roots entangling the plants. A tennis ball lay on the outskirts of the circular plot, and a ball of aluminum foil was found in the center of the plot. Surrounding the transect is a grassy hill, the road, and stone park benches.

List of Abiotic and Biotic life:

Abiotic: Soil, Tennis Ball, Aluminum Foil, Park Benches

Biotic: Weed type growth, Trees, Roots, Grass
