Project:

Biodiversity of Plants in Highly Polluted Areas

Students:

School:

Frank Mc Court High School, Manhattan

Mentors:

Vincent Joralemon

Abstract:

In this project, we'll propose running a biodiversity test of a specific section of Riverside Park, seeking to find the impact of pollution from a nearby road on the biodiversity of the plants grown. We'll be comparing a section of park plants directly adjacent to a busy roadway to another section of equal size further away from the car traffic.
