Restoration Trajectories and Restored Floodplain Wetlands and their Ecosystem Services

Institute: Illinois
Year Established: 2013 Start Date: 2013-03-01 End Date: 2014-02-28
Total Federal Funds: $6,000 Total Non-Federal Funds: $11,523

Principal Investigators: Angela Kent

Project Summary: Our objectives for this project are to evaluate restoration trajectories of microbial communities and their function in restored wetlands throughout Illinois. We are further interested in identifying landscape, design, or management factors linked with successful delivery of microbial functions, and to improve our understanding of how wetland restoration priorities influence delivery of microbial ecosystem services.
