Zzyzx, CA~The afternoon field experience for Wednesday included a trip into the desert looking to measure photosynthetic activity in a given area. Our host scientist was Jim Nienow. First, we wet our sample site and then took readings at every centimeter. The readings were measurements of whether or not it was crust or eveidence of an algae. The most exciting aspect was that I was the record keeper and the scientist came to me to get a copy of my notes for his project!
