Ha ha, those would be scary.
Not too hard to add another pair of wings and I bet there is a naturalist out there that would be willing to consult

She also started thinking if filtering run off through the same substrate 3x will make different water results - so she's testing that
And then she captured the runoff into jars to be tested for ph, ammonia, phosphate etc (that I took her to work for)

Ha ha gladly
7th grader doing science fair. Bc teacher told her she can't do pollinator observations (no independent variable) she wanted to see if different soils filter water differently. So testing though sand, compost (she thought it's a good sub for organic soil) and mix

This is so sad on how this reflects on our society

Our experiment manipulates whether habitat fragments are connected by corridors, as well as how much edge fragments have
After starting populations of these species in each fragment (by transplanting), we've tracked growth of their populations for the past 18 years

The asclepias should not be so hard.....different pods, different leaves

I have to check out your methods bc yeah you can add to seedlings ir the restoration itself - so.many.thing.to.think.about

Awesome! So, theoretically (or maybe practically) speaking, would you be able to extract the remnant community from a remnant desired spot and amplify those results to be used on a nearby restoration?
(Ie not using a stockpile community but figuring out what the local community is and using that)

Would love to know, including how you know the native ones from non native ones and how you would convince folks who are skeptical
