summer 2005. Three randomly located subplots (35 x 35 cm) in each plot
were sampled for earthworms in fall 2005 and one randomly located subplot
was sampled in fall 2006. Vegetation was sampled in each plot in summer
2006. Resampling of earthworms and plants will be ongoing...Location: Duluth, Minnesota. Lead Researcher: Mark Horlocker, Hartley Nature Center Join an ongoing study
