Abstract Details

2020, Bachelor of Science, Wittenberg University, Biology.
In utilizing native plant species, communities can maintain a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity, as well as formulating a cost effective method of landscaping that, over time, can be relatively self-sufficient. College campuses, allowing for small, condensed garden areas, are prime locations for native plant populations to form and grow. While forming such populations can be costly at first, this study aims to analyze the best methods for minimizing cost by utilizing already present resources on campuses. Taking place at Wittenberg University, the study explores germination techniques on varied plant species to determine best practices for growing native plants from preexisting generations.
