Heavy Metal Contamination at Ashfield Flats Reserve
Summary: Ashfield Flats reserve has been threatened by multiple drains discharging contaminated water into the reserve. Water samples and eDNA samples were collected across the site to quantify heavy metal concentration and species richness, respectively. This report, which was the final assignment of ENVT3361 (Environmental Assessment), aims to find whether there is a relationship between the concentration of heavy metals and species richness.
