Moist Soil Team at Delta Marsh

The moist soil research team from Louisiana State University: Dr. Fowler (left); Dr. Nyman (center) and graduate student Braden Bodin.

We had several productive days at Delta Marsh. The reigning hypothesis for our low plant diversity in moist soil: SALT.

Some cells tested almost brackish (5 part per thousand salt). The picture to the right shows where the soil is drying and leaving white salt crystals.

It looks like we have a great team to lead this research.
