Journal 2: Lower Arroyo Park

Lower Arroyo park was the second field trip place and showed the most diversity of plants compared to plants live in the other area of LA river. From chemistry sampling team data, I could know that soil and water from Lower Arroyo Park contained a lot of nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate. Specifically, those were a good nutrient for plants. I could found sycamore, arroyo willow, pine, elderberry, coast live oak, Englemann oak, sandbar willow, laurel sumac, toyon, native grape, mule fat, holly leaf cherry, mugwort, black willow, eucalyptus, victorian box and three unknown non-native plants. Sycamore, Coast Live Oak, Englemann Oak, Sandbar Willow, Laurel Sumac, Toyon, Mule Fat, Holly Leaf Cherry, Mugwort, and Black Willow were native plants. Arroyo Willow, Pine, Elderberry, Native grape, Box elder, Eucalyptus, and Victorian Box were non-native plants. Overall, native plants had more diversities than non-native plants.
