A kistavaknak, így akár egy kerti tónak is jelentős szerepe lehet a biodiverzitás megőrzésében és a klímaváltozás elleni küzdelemben, ezért fontos, hogy védjük őket és növeljük a számukat. 🐚🐸🪲🐟🐢 https://t.co/5T9XBUUw9s via @YouTube #kertitó #kert #kistó

In addition to the samples collected by citizens with the help of our eDNA kits, we also surveyed almost 100 garden, urban and natural ponds in and around Budapest.

These two water samples are collected from opposite ends of a pond. It is likely that the dense layer of duckweed inhibited the photosynthesis of algae in one side, thus contributing to the growth of purple bacteria that live in oxygen-poor waters.

While our team has already sampled more than 60 ponds of Budapest over the past two weeks, our citizen scientists are also busy sampling their own ponds in parallel - the first eDNA kits have just arrived back to the lab!

The Novum magazine show accompanied us to the pond sampling! The interview with Zsófia Horváth will be available soon on the M5 TV channel!

Köszönjük a visszajelzéseket a lelkes kertitó-tulajdonosoktól! A mintavevő csomagok összeállítása elkezdődött, emellett készülünk a személyes, budapesti mintavételezésekre is! Mi már nagyon várjuk, és Ti? 🐸🧪
