Elliott Chaparral Reserve

08 Apr, 04 AM - 30 Jun, 09 AM

During the spring quarter of 2009, five undergraduate researchers (all enrolled for independent research credits through BILD199 or ESYS1999) will assist Prof. Cleland and Staff Research Associate Kopp in surveying the Nutrient Network experimental plots. We will visit the reserve each Wednesday afternoon 11-3, and Thursday afternoon 2-5. We will collect the following datasets: species composition by visual cover estimation, biomass by destructive harvest (0.2 m2 sample from each experimental plot), arthrophod communities using brief vacuum sampling, small mammal activity by estimating tracks, and the degree of granivory by monitoring removal of non-viable seeds (Avena barbara and Nasella pulchra heated to 100 degrees C for 20 minutes).
