Thesis:

Estimating the ecosystem service of Aleutian cackling goose droppings on pastures

Approach: A greenhouse experiment was conducted from February-August 2019 at Cal Poly Humboldt, divided into two experiments: freshly sown ryegrass pasture system and established plant and soil communities removed intact directly from pastures. Fresh goose droppings were added at different amounts every two weeks for two months and vegetation hand clipped to simulate spring geese grazing.
