Description

Common garden experiment manipulating soil microbial communities through sterilization vs. inoculation to test effects on seed germination success and timing under controlled environmental conditions.

Typical Equipment

  • autoclave
  • Conviron MTR30 growth chamber
  • Ray Leach Cone-tainer containers

Output Measurements

  • germination success
  • germination latency
  • days to emergence
