Introduction:
We, the Plant Physiology student have organized a field trip to Tanjung Tuan Recreational Park. This field trip mainly to study the stress physiology of plants that live there. Plants that live along the beach need to have special adaptation in order to survive. They need to adapt with hot temperature, high water salinity and tidal waves therefore our main job here is to study the special characteristics of plants there.
Methodology:
First step, we made a quadrate with dimension 5m x5m as being illustrated below:
 |
| Our site view |
After making the quadrate, we start observed every single plants that live inside our quadrate. To relate the condition within our quadrate and the adaptation the plant we take soil sample, measure the light intensity and measure the humidity. We take 5 samples at 5 different location inside our quadrate for every measure we used. The method that we used in this field work is by using quadrat 5x5m. This is called systematic sampling.
Apparatus:
Lux meter
Soil borer
Measuring cylinder
Thermometer
Measuring tape
Humidity meter
Results:
Plants observed and their characteristics:
Name | Characteristics |
Hibiscus tiliaceus | - Thick leaves - Thick epidermis - Compound leaves - Grow towards the ocean - Fruits and leaves can be found more towards the ocean |
Pandanus tectorius | - Leaves with thorns - Herbaceous plants |
Palmae sp. | - Thick leaves - Thick waxy cuticle - Herbaceous - Stem with thorns (abundance at abaxial) - Fibrous root |
Ginger like plants 1 | - Thin leaves - Small size leaves - Thick waxy cuticle - Herbaceous plant - Stem with thorns - Fibrous root |
Ginger like plants 2 | - Thin leaves - Large leaves - Thick waxy cuticle - Herbaceous plant - Stem with thorns Fibrous root |
Ficus sp. | - Annual plants - Leaves with thick waxy cuticle - Tall |
