Abstract

Samples of microarthropods will be collected from both burned and unburned areas of the St Johns prairie. Once collected these samples will be processed using a Tullgren drying funnel. Then the samples will be extracted from the receiving flask, identified and counted. The data collected for the burned and unburned areas will be compared to determine the extent of correlation between prairie treatment and microarthropod diversity.
