Knowledge graph centered on Forest edge fungal density transect sampling (Aves) with 8 nodes and 15 connections. Top connected: space use, keystone species, secondary cavity nesting, pathogen transmission, airflow patterns.

Description

Systematic transect sampling from forest edge to interior with perpendicular plots to assess fungal infection density in relation to distance from meadow edge. Trees categorized by size class and assessed for fungal presence based on visual identification of characteristic white conks.

Typical Equipment

  • ArcGIS

Output Measurements

  • fungal density
  • tree counts by size class
  • distance from edge
  • sapsucker damage
