Required elements are title, abstract (both graphical and in narrative form), introduction, M&M, results (including a narrative as well as figures and/or tables) , discussion, references. This research paper should use experimental evidence from your work this semester to explore our topic: abundance, diversity, and community behavior among microbes in a soil community. You will use experimental evidence to answer our investigative questions: "How crowded is this community? How diverse? How do individuals in the community find a niche (compete for limited resources and/or co-operate to provide useable resources for others)?".
