Hi! I'm Savannah and I am a senior at Clarkstown North. This is my third year of science research. My project focuses on soil health. Check out what I have so far down below!
A few thing about me
A few thing about me
I love to dance!
My family owns two farms in New Jersey and they're two of my favorite places!
I absolutely love cats!
I love science! :)
My three areas of focus:
My three areas of focus:
Soil respiration
Soil respiration, the measurement of CO2 flow in and out of the soil, is a product of soil microbial activity, biological activity in the roots of plants, and the decomposition processes occurring in the soil. Because carbon dioxide is released as a result of these processes, soil respiration levels are indicative of soil health. With data concerning soil health better, effective and efficient ways to use and preserve our soils can be designed. Soil respiration data can also be looked at from a wider view regarding how soil respiration levels affect the larger carbon cycle and the climate.
Soil Nitrogen
Organic nitrogen is usually found in the soil in various forms of amino-acids and amino-sugars that are linked to microbial tissue and humus. Since it’s often connected with organic matter, it is usually not in a form that is immediately available to plants. This can be limiting to plant growth, so it is very important in agriculture because of the effects it can have on crop yield. It is important to measure it and make sure that is used with most efficiency so that limited amounts of synthetic fertilizers containing nitrogen have to be used
