Estimation of Duckweed Geometric Population Density Phosphate Depletion By Ana Rosina Alarcon University of Texas at El Paso Department of Environmental Science Instructor: Gebregiorgis Alay G. Introduction Duckweed is a small aquatic plant that is able to grow rapidly‚ making it the ideal specimen for our experiment. It is hypothesized that altering the amount of light received by duckweed will alter its photosynthetic rate. It is predicted that a lower light intensity will
