GARCIA, L. M., S. A. CANTRELL, AND M. MOLINA. TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN THE SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITY ALONG AN ELEVATION GRADIENT IN FIVE DIFFERENT TROPICAL FORESTS IN PUERTO RICO. Presented at International Union of Micobiological Societies Meeting, San Francisco, CA, July 23 - 29, 2005.

Impact/Purpose:

The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate and apply fast and reproducible DNA-based technology that can detect and track fecal contamination back to its source in complex environmental matrices, including recreational and drinking water resources.

Description:

This study focuses on how the microbial community changes through forest type, time and space at a soil depth of 0-5 and 5-10 cm.
