Millennium Fellowship Project: Studying Bioremediation in Kenya
Our project for the Millennium Fellowship is a research project that is through the organization NYADEC out of Kenya, Africa. The objectives of our research are to estimate the carbon in each tree to determine which species have more carbon, obtain overall carbon stock in the forest, know the biodiversity in the forest, and assess soil carbon. We researched the following variables for erosion control: water absorption, ground cover, and the depth of the roots. For the variable of carbon sequestration, we looked at the total amount of carbon sequestered per year of growth and the average lifecycle of the plant.
