Abstract/Description
This project is part of a larger, ongoing thesis project that will focus on the effects of crayfish burrows on the weathering of carbon in Riparian soil. This stage in the project involved a statistical analysis of the carbon content of a Riparian soil from a study site (CR1) in the Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge. Data has been previously collected from the CR1 site and some has already been processed and analyzed. The carbon content data from the CR1 site was compared to the content of immobile elements in the soil to determine how the carbon has moved through the soil horizons. The results of these statistical analyses will be used to determine whether the carbon was moved through the soil by organisms or by other factors.
