The Influence of Roadside Conditions on the Shoot Growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa)

Title

The Influence of Roadside Conditions on the Shoot Growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa)

Description

Impermeable surfaces such as roads or parking lots cause urban runoff from rain or snowmelt events. This runoff can cause flooding and contains a multitude of pollutants such as salt from road deicing
efforts or motor oil from leaky cars. These contaminants can affect surrounding soils and bodies of water, and therefore vegetation.
Objective: See how increased salinity, motor oil pollution, or soil compaction (which is linked to flooded conditions) affects the aboveground growth of three varieties of Wisconsin Fast Plants
Brassica Rapa ) over a 5 week period. Hypothesis: Treatments of salinity, oil, and compaction will cause a reduction in aboveground
plant growth when compared to the control.
