Description
Factorial experimental design using artificial stream channels to test temperature and nutrient effects on algae growth. Solar heating systems create temperature gradients while drip systems deliver controlled nutrient ratios.
Typical Equipment
- vinyl rain gutters
- ½ horsepower irrigation pump
- solar heating coil systems
- HOBO data loggers
- 20 L plastic buckets
Output Measurements
- water temperature
- didymo cell density
