    The elevation between quadrats 12 and 13 rises greatly because of the zone change to above high tide. Because of this change in elevation the swamp she-oak is found in the last four quadrats of the transect because she-oaks are found in zones above high tide. In quadrats 6-8, the elevation decreases and the river mangroves population is increased. This may be caused because the mangroves may have access to water at the lower elevation. Also, the sunlight decreased dramatically from quadrat 6 to 7 and in quadrat 7, the river mangrove covers 75% of the quadrat.…

    According to Gildemeister, Berkeley is a west-coast Mediterranean climate (distinct wet and dry seasons). In the late spring and early fall, strong offshore winds of sinking air typically develop, bringing heat and dryness to the area. In the spring, this is not usually a problem as vegetation is still moist from winter rains, but extreme dryness prevails by the fall. The warmest and driest months are typically June through September, with the highest temperatures occurring in September. Mid-summer (July-August) is often a bit cooler due to the sea breezes and fog which are normally most strongly developed then (Gildemeister, 2004, p. 109).…
