Barcoding Long Island Phragmites DNA Proposal
Students:

School:
Massapequa HS- Ames Campus, Nassau
Mentors:
Nicole Gonzalez

Abstract:

By sampling phragmites and the species around them, the specific aim is to investigate how the biodiversity of a certain area is affected by the presence of phragmites. By collecting specimens in the Massapequa Preserve, we can observe whether an area with phragmites has less biodiversity in opposition to an area without phragmites.
