Barcoding Hempstead Plains

Mentors:

Abstract:

Grasses and forbs will be our main point of investigation for this experiment. Our main purpose is to take a look at the biodiversity of these plains and to discover changes in the grasses from the 1800s when these areas were first settled in. We would like to discover which new species of plants are found in this vastly changing habitat in order to get a better understanding of the biodiversity.
