The project involves testing the effects of soil compaction on erosion, focusing on two different types of soil: forest and grassland. The aim is to understand how compacting these soils influences their ability to retain soil when exposed to water.

4. Hypothisis

I predict that the compacted forest soil will hold the most soil when run through with water.

3. Purpose

I plan to use this information to raise awareness of how off road vehicles dusturb our natural wildlife habitats.
