Welcome to the Wonderful World of Science Team Upstream: Mapping: Nathan, Brook, Marisa. Marsh Vegetation: Kate, EmilyKate, Allison, Jay, Christina. Vegetation Structure: Kurt, Ryan (Drew). Water Chemistry: Tobias, Adam

Mapping GPS was used to map the upstream site and provide ground work for other research groups to overlay their data. The three sub-sites within the upstream site were Marsh, Dolomite Ridge Forest, and Riparian Forest

Wetland Site Map We compared the dominant vegetation zones in the wetland to the bathymetry as shown in the map. We found that shallow areas contain only Reed Canary Grass.

Vegetation Structure We counted the number of species in each plant growth form type (tree, shrub, fern etc.) in each sub-site. We also estimated the percent of ground coverage of each plant growth form.

This graph shows the number of vegetation species in each sub-site

Water Chemistry The water chemistry group tested for pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, temperature and phosphates in the marsh, stream, and the Winooski River.

In Conclusion... ALWAYS WEAR PANTS!!!! Ryan (Drew’s) legs
