Our transect is located in the center of campus in the amphitheater woods. The location is densely populated with trees and other microorganisms given the nature of American University's campus in general.

As I touched on previously, the biotic features in our transect include leaves, trees, bushes and brush, squirrels, rats, raccoons, and humans. The abiotic components of our transect include metal lamp posts, a concrete sidewalk, stones, cigarette butts, and a discarded ribbon (litter). As indicated in the image, the leaves, trees, brush and bushes are found in the center of the transect, which is overall surrounded by the concrete sidewalk. All the animals I mentioned earlier visit the center of the transect, but humans are assumed to remain on the sidewalk and benches.

Our transect is located in the center of campus in the amphitheater woods. The location is densely populated with trees and other microorganisms given the nature of American University's campus in general. There are also some built components to the transect, including a paved sidewalk, various benches, and some lamp posts. The transect is also often visited by squirrels, rats, raccoons (I previously lived in Leonard Hall near here and can speak for this), insects, and college students.
