Plants in the SPRUCE experimental area are dominated by peat mosses of the genus Sphagnum, which is an ecosystem engineer that produces much of the degrading biomass or “peat” in soils of northern peatlands. (Photo Joel Kostka)

Georgia Tech Researchers Study Methods for Assessing Classroom Air Quality during COVID-19 Pandemic
Georgia Tech researchers have identified that in-situ measurements of either carbon dioxide (CO2) or particulate matter (PM) by low-cost sensors can be used to perform such calculations in classrooms.
