Conclusion

Here is the first page of my conclusion.  I couldn't get the second page scanned, so I have typed it below the first page.

abiotic components may have and a negative impact on the ecology of the study area.
          In my study area, there is some human impact.  It is at the edge of a ranch property, so there are some horses that sometimes come through the area.  A more negative human impact evident in the area is sewage.  There is a sewage pipeline that runs through my area, which likely contaminates the creek water to some degree.  It is clear that some people come through the area occasionally because there was a glass bottle and paper napkin in the creek and on the ground, respectively.  The human influence will most likely continue in my area, especially considering the location of the sewage pipeline.  The human impacts that are more evident make it harder to observe what the ecology of the area would be like if the human influence was removed.
          Seasonal trends weren't very easy to observe in my area because the seasons did not have drastic changes.  Overall, the water levels increased a little bit in the winter months.  However, it soon went back down.  There are more insects that are active in warmer weather, and they come out in larger numbers in the evening.
