SUNY: Population and Community Ecology
In Population and Community Ecology (Spring 2009) we worked in the greenhouse with experiments using aquatic and terrestrial plants. We used Salvinia rotundifolia and reared them with initial low density and high density populations, in addition to running a high density population with a treatment (manure, road salt, legume vs. nitrogen fertilizer, color light filter, antifreeze, etc.) to assess population growth trends, determine r, and K.
