Urban Sites 2/17/12

Friday February 17 we visited the urban streams we will be sampling. The first site is near an apartment complex. The banks are very steep and covered in man-made rocks. The second site is more of a wetland pool near a baseball field. The third site is a narrow stream along a golf course. All three sites are fairly close to a road, at least a lot closer than the forested sites. This is expected to increase nitrogen levels due to fertilizer runoff.
