RACC Interns at UVM: Soil Nutrients and Water Quality in Lake Champlain Stream Corridors

RACC interns collect soil and water samples in upland and mountainous settings to help quantify the role of rural transportation networks on water quality degradation. Sampling occurs along stream corridors of the Missisquoi, Winooski, and Mad River watersheds to determine the gradient of phosphorus and nitrogen towards the stream banks and with depth in the soil profile.
