Description
Soil samples were collected from two areas with different grasses in a similar part of campus. One area that was sampled was planted with native tallgrass (Prairie Restoration area) 30+ years ago and the other area is maintained as a lawn. These samples were tested for total organic carbon using the Walkley-Black method of analysis with an acid digestion followed by a titration. A discussion of the results will be included along with additional tests conducted on these samples.
