The Relationship of Wetland Soil Chemistry to the Appearance of the bog turtle, Clemmys muhlenbergii Kayla Kyle, Department of Biology, York College of Pennsylvania Introduction Methods -Determine wetland boundaries on the 2 adjacent wetland sites. -Set-up transects along the sites. -At every sample point a 3 foot hole was dug. -Soil collection -a sample from the top and bottom -Water Table Readings -Munsell Analysis -Chemical Analysis -N-P-K test kit -Statistical Analysis Results Conclusions Future Studies References - Wetlands can be defined by studying vegetation, soils, and hydrology. - Wetlands are important habitats to many unique species; this includes Clemmys muhlenbergii, the bog turtle. - Bog turtles have been on the decline throughout their historic range, which is from southern New England to Georgia. - As habitat specialists, anything causing change in the wetland can have a harmful affect on the bog turtles’ survival. Research Question -Can a difference in soil nutrients (N-P-K) between 2 adjacent wetlands suggest why bog turtles appear on one site and not the other? Schematic of Site -Different analysis technique needed to support/reject results. -Significant vegetative differences may be present.
