Suli typhoon passed away in that morning. So we started to do field research.
In the morning, we walked around Sitou Experimental Forest. Sitou Experimental Forest has been modified. It is not a natural forest, but it is still beautiful. Our terminal station is sky walk. The slope of the way to sky walk is really steep, and it took me much energy to get to sky walk. Actually, I am afraid of heights. So I just walked fast through the walkways. I love sky walk, as I can touch the branches of trees see far.
I stand in the walkway and looked down.
It is a little bit scary for me as I am afraid of height. I felt dizzy when I look down.
The long walkway.
Then we went back. On the way back, we walked around streams and riparian areas. We compared all of the streams along that road to get the best one for experiment. Unlucky, they are all not good enough. We did not get all the equipment until the night. So we just talked about our project in the afternoon. We got a lot of problems at the beginning. All of our group members worked hard. Finally we finish the outline of our project. After finishing outline, we went out again to find nice experimental areas. We chose the area near bamboo house.

We still worked on our project in that day. We got the equipment, so we went out to conduct experiment. That day is the second last day for the project. We were nervous because there are only two days left, while we still have many problems about our project.
In the afternoon, after the rain stop, we went to the area that we choose. We looked around the area between two streams, and try to get the best design of field experiment. Afterwards, we did plant identification. We tried to recognize all the plants, which is helpful for observing plant distribution.
Then two of our members went to Shenmuxi to see if that area is better or not. Judy recommended Shenmuxi to us. Shenmuxi is the source of that river, and the area has not been modified. Unlucky, that area is not good enough. The width of forest between two streams is less than 30 meters.

Field experiment
I watched a famous TV drama producted by Mainland China in the evening. Young people in Mainland China watch many Taiwanese dramas and movies. It is a little bit exciting that Taiwanese like Chinese drama.

It was our last day in Sitou Experimental Forest. We got up early to do field experiment. One of the reasons is that we did not have much time. Another reason is that we had to measure all the factors before raining. After raining, factors will change a lot. Sitou has a lot of rain in the afternoon, so we need to finish it in the morning.
We got almost all the data in the morning. We need oven to measure soil moisture, but we do not have oven. So we just took some soil of all sites back. We planned to measure soil moisture after going back to NTU.
We finish field experiment in the morning. In the afternoon, we began to deal with the data and do plant identification.
