May 24, 2013 - Harvard Research Forest, Petersham, Ma
Today I am in the Harvard forest with scientist-extraordinaire Colin, studying the effects of microbes on carbon and nitrogen cycles in hemlock and ash soil. He's also going to teach me to taste the difference between organic horizon and mineral layer soils. Eating dirt in layman's terms.
Normal Friday stuff.
Update: We found this little fella in the leaves: an eastern spotted newt. I haven't seen one since I was a little kid. Good find!
