We rely on Earth’s surface to supply most of what we need to live. Therefore, mapping and monitoring this surface is critical to our wise use and protection of it.Wildlife habitatAgricultural landsDevelopmentWatershedsRecreation
Why is it important to study the land?
![Page 3: Land scape protocol](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/5681634f550346895dd3ee56/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What will make our bioenergy blocks differ between districts? Each school will have the same seed mix and
treatments!Each school will have different:
Soil types: nutrients, soil moisture and water retention
Surrounding land use – different seeds will come into the plots
Topography and elevation – water movement and weather
Pollutants – runoff from parking lots or smog from cars
Why is it important for our experiment?

It is important to know what types of vegetation and land use surround the plotsInfluence what seeds enter the plots – future
“weeds”!Slope will influence water movement and
erosion

It is important to know the history of the land
Identify habitats surrounding the plots for visiting birds, mammals, and insects (pollinators!)
Human impacts to the land – are habitats fragmented? Has lots of agriculture changed the soil or nutrient levels in the water?

DISCUSSIONGroups share transect data and discuss how land use types would influence plots if they were built at KBS

Count the number of grid cells that fall into each category
Ex. 10 forest= 10% forest
7 water = 7% water

DISCUSSIONGroups share grid counts and how these large scale land uses should influence plots at KBS and demonstration school district
