Greenhouse

A part of my capstone involves conducting a common garden experiment on germinating Torrey pine seeds in different environmental settings. I will be testing the effects of leaf litter and precipitation on the Torrey pines population seedling survival and germination rate. I have learned this week that there will be room in the CSU Channel Islands greenhouse for my common garden experiment, but there is only two set watering schedules that I believe will work. Also, I am still waiting for my permit from Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. I hope to get the permit as I feel that it is an important part of my experiment.
