Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences / Environmental Innovation | Category: | Intermediate | Region: | Halifax | City: | Halifax, NS | School: | St. Agnes School | Abstract: | Aquatic Ecosystems contain billions of phytoplankton, microscopic plants that are the base of aquatic food chains. These tiny plants have the ability to sequester CO2 from the environment. Factors that affect CO2 sequestration include temperature and species of algae. The design for these experiments included measuring the CO2 Sequestration of five species of unicellular algae, Isochrysis, Pavlova, Tetraselmis, Chlorella, and Scenedesmus, under different temperatures. |
