Discovery Notes | The sample was collected from the north side of Glaske Center. The area was mostly shaded. The north wall of Glaske Center shades the site from direct sun during most hours of the day. The soil was initially covered with a small amount of grass, twigs, and dead plant matter, which we moved away with a hand before soil collection. The soil itself was dark in color, medium to coarse composition, and very damp. We dug down 3-5 cm into the soil with a disposable plastic spoon and collected approximately 20 mL of soil in a plastic collection tube. The excess soil was discarded, leaving a 10 mL sample for enrichment |
