Student explains his environmental research. from @fiuenvironment
The creator, Jordan King, introduces himself as an FIU biology master's student and explains his research on flocculent organic matter (floc) in the Everglades. He defines floc, explains its composition from periphyton and macrophytes, and details how his research investigates the impact of human activity and climate change on its biogeochemistry and metabolism. He concludes by stating why floc is important for nutrient transport and the formation of sediment.

Transcript
My name is Jordan. I worked with John Kominoski, and I got my master's in biology. My research is about flocculent organic matter, specifically looking at the effects of human activity and climate change on its biogeochemistry, which consists of carbon and nutrients, and also metabolism, which consists of primary productivity and respiration. Fog is this loose unconsolidated better. It's made up of periphyton and macrophyses. Periphyton are these floating algae mats on top of the water, and then
