Field Work Plus Teamwork Equals Success

One of our first field projects found divided into two groups of ten and in the forest for an experiment.Give ten Columbia students a 8*8m plot to sample and the results can be quite chaotic but we eventually got our plan set out, worked together and it turned out a success.


Working together to sort leaves using the Morphospeciies method. It might sound simple but when you are doing this for the first time it can be quite a challenge.


Pictures below shows some of the team hard at work...yes, it is possible to smile while at work in the Atlantic Forest.
