Description

Soil samples were collected from two places on campus: the Prairie Restoration area and the lawn next to that area. We collected samples at two different depths from both areas. These samples were analyzed using the Walkley-Black titration method of total organic carbon analysis. This method involves a soil sample digestion followed by an oxidation-reduction titration. These results will be discussed.
