As a part of ongoing studies of the soil in regions most affected by climate change samples of soil as well as measurements of temperature and pH were taken in assorted alpine regions. This was initially carried out at silver dollar lake in Arapahoe National Forest. Silver dollar lake is at 11,950 ft in elevation and is representative of alpine tundra type formations that would be found throughout the Rockies and is comparable to high latitude taiga and tundra regions of the artic. Further testing of the soil for methanotroph content and methanotroph capacity will be carried out in vitro. Soil Testing was carried out with permitting from the US Forest Service under Permit/Authorization ID: CLC1078
