Review of Wetland Fieldwork
Sarah met Dr Aaron to review her team's fieldwork at Blackwood Wetlands. Early on, the team had to recalibrate their salinity 1 before taking measurements. Despite this initial delay, they successfully gathered data across 2 separate sites. Rather than documenting plant species, they decided to survey aquatic 3 to evaluate water quality. When presenting chemical results in the main report, Sarah will use 4 instead of tables to illustrate patterns clearly. Regarding conservation issues, the team discovered that long-term 5 was the main threat to the reserve's water table. Finally, Dr Aaron reminded Sarah that their preliminary draft must be submitted by 6 for review.
