Seed dormancy, germination, and seedling establishment of Lespedeza capitata and L. virginica in response to climate change (2016)
Ecology

How does climate change impact the germination rates and seedling growth of two species of Bushclover and how will this geographically shift their populations? How can environmental factors, such as soil type, affect these population shifts? 

A look into a common procedure used in soil analysis: Substrate Induced Respiration. This experiment measures the carbon dioxide produced by soil microbes once fed with a carbon substrate.
