We address the following questions

  • Aim 1): How do waterfowl impoundment-specific characteristics influence nitrogen cycling transformations?

  • Aim 2): How do storm events influence nitrogen dynamics in waterfowl impoundments?

Repo Contents

  • analyses: An R Markdown file that includes R script written by Ariane Peralta and Regina Bledsoe containing functions used in analysis of soil and microbial sequence data.

  • bin:

  • data: Files associated with soil and nitrogen transformations rates data sets.

  • figures: Figures (of nitrogen cycling rates) generated according to R script located in R Markdown file.
