Project:

A comparison of organic and non-organic farms on soil quality and biodiversity of soil invertebrates

Students:

Mentors:

Leonie Rubin

Abstract:

We plan to study soil quality on organic and non-organic farms by measuring pH and soil nutrients. We will also assess the impact of agricultural practice on biodiversity of soil invertebrates. The invertebrates will be identified by their morphology and DNA analysis.
