Deliverables:
All plowing/disking treatments are completed.
Monitoring to test the different objectives of the project are on-going:
a. Conducting P-flux study to look at the internal P loading from the different plowing/disking treatment.
b. Conducting greenhouse studies looking at the germination of wetlands and submerged aquatic plant seeds from different plowing/disking treatments.
c. Characterizing pre- and post- treatment vegetation community and standing crop using a quadrant sampling technique.
Comments:
Semi-annual monitoring has continued; the second set of samples of the second contract, which runs until August 2010, were collected in February of this year. We'll receive the taxonomic information in August.
