Greetings!
We are conducting a global biogeographic study of soil protozoa and are in
need of surface soils and litter from the locations listed below. If you
live in or are traveling to these areas and would be willing to collect and
mail (our permit specifies this mode of entry) soils to us, we would greatly
appreciate it. We will provide detailed sampling methods, sterile bags for
soil, a shipping container, and pre-addressed mailing envelope. We can
compensate researchers for shipping costs.
Locations from where we need soils:
Alaska Northern Canada Greenland
Central US Iceland Scandinavia
Most of Russia Northern China Japan
Central Europe Mediterranean Turkey
India Northern Africa South Africa
Saudia Arabia Near East Indonesia
Australia Antarctica Madagascar
Most of S. America Northern Mexico Island regions
Please contact either myself, Dr. Nancy Bowers (nancy at science1.sb2.pdx.edu)
or Dr. James Pratt (pratt at science1.sb2.pdx.edu) if you are able to assist
us.
Thank you very much.
