MACROFAUNA URBAN GARDENS

GENERAL
OBJETIVE
To evaluate the macrofauna existing in soils with possibility of developing urban gardens
in different sectors of the urban area of Yopal Casanare

SPECIFIC OBJETIVES
•To categorize the macrofauna existing in the soil of the different sectors in Yopal.
•To identify the macroinvertebrates' taxonomy located in the soils to be studied.
•To analyze through physical, chemical and biological studies the collected samples of
potential effects for urban gardens.
GENERAL IDEA
Taking into account the urban growing in Yopal city affects soils
and their ecosystems, this project aims to carry out a soil study
where we evaluate the macroinvertebrates present in the different
samples in this sense it aims to study the possibility of
implementing the urban gardens where macroinvertebrates can
play a fundamental role in terms of recovery, improvement, soil
conservation.
