Japanese Knotweed Impact Biodiversity in Bronx Parks
Japanese Knotweeds are one of the worst invasive species. It’s bullying the surrounding plants to take over NYC. See what effect this plant has on our Biodiversity.

A correlation study between Spotted Lanternfly observations made on iNaturalist and humidity levels and temperature from 2020 to present.
In this project, we look to see if there is correlation between proximity to bodies of water and the species richness of birds in the NYC area.
We decided to look into how temperature changes during the winter months due to climate change have affected the bee population in NYC through iNaturalist observations.

Society changes, sometimes positively, and sometimes negatively. As people of the new generation; we need to acknowledge the past, access the present, and develop the future to better society.
Ever wonder how human activity resulting from a lockdown may have affected NYC’s watershed water quality? Look no further, here’s a poster on water turbidity in the Delaware watershed!
We studied the invasive spotted lanternfly’s presence in NYC parks and its relationship to the also invasive tree-of-heaven.
In this research project, our group focused on how the climate of New York City alters the growth of domesticated flowers, specifically the Coneflower. Post-BioBlitz, we noticed its variation in that growth on Randall’s Island. We then decided to compare the potential environmental impacts of Randall’s Island and the High Line that could impact the growth of coneflowers. Our results led us to conclude that the environment of New York City impacts coneflower growth. Although we were limited in our research, in the future, we hope to study Coneflower growth throughout the five boroughs to further support our conclusion.
Tree of Heaven, or Ailanthus altissima, is an invasive plant species that has disrupted NYC’s urban ecology. In this project, we analyzed its influence and methods to control its spread.
