On-location science research explanation
The creator stands in the Everglades and explains the importance of his microbiology research, first by detailing the general role of microbes in regulating water quality and nutrient cycles, and then by specifying his focus on flocculent organic matter and its impact on microbial community structures.
Transcript
Why my research in microbiology in the Everglades is important? So microbes are important to the health of the ecosystem because they help to regulate water quality. They also help to regulate the nutrient cycle, and they also help to break down dead organic better, which plants need to grow. Now my research focused on flocculent organic matter and its biogeochemical variables, and also looked at basically how these biogeochemical variables are driving, community structure in microbial communiti
