Summary: | Reclamation?s proposed grant of $389,831 to University of California, Merced (UC Merced) through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act Habitat Restoration Program, and the Central Valley Project Conservation Program. Staff from UC Merced will conduct field surveys and develop methods for identifying vernal pool plants from environmental DNA in soil samples. The data collected would be used to improve vernal pool plant species richness estimates, develop genetic markers for the observed vernal pool plant species, and understand the population genetics of those species. Surveys would be conducted within the UC Merced Vernal Pool and Grassland Reserve. |
