2023 The Mary T. Carothers Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Survey of Vegetation and Wild Bee Communities in Reconstructed Prairies in Northeastern Iowa
Roubik’s research will provide data on prairies and pollinators to mitigate negative effects agriculture may have. Field research will be based on prairie demographics, including plant species abundance, size, and viability; data collected from local bee species including size, quantity, and genome data; and plant identification. Roubik will also compose a pollen library for common prairie plants to create a baseline of understanding for restored prairies and pollinator habitats in northeastern Iowa.
