Ecology explorers collect soil and invertebrates from a monoculture and a polyculture area. They relate the number and types of invertebrates to the surrounding environmental conditions. This activity can be used as an introduction to the differences between monoculture and polyculture, a topic of current debate. Use it before discussing human impact on the environment and the reduction of biodiversity.
