Soltau (dpa / lni) - Those interested can take part in a research project on soil research in the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park.
To this end, tea bags are buried and dug up again after three months, the nature park announced.
Based on the reduced weight of the tea bags, conclusions could be drawn about the activity of living things in the ground.
As many people as possible can and should take part in the campaign in order to provide the basis for research.
Robin Marwege from the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park is hoping for a lot of volunteers in the region.
“I am happy when many people participate in order to receive as much data as possible for our region.
How lively is the ground, for example, in the garden, on a horse meadow, in the field or in your own forest? "
It is important that you check whether you have a suitable location before registering.
Of course, no tea bags should be buried in unfamiliar areas or even in protected areas in nature and landscape.
You can register at www.expedition-erdreich.de.
The "Earth Expedition" is a research project of the Federal Ministry of Research and the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research.
Tea bags had already been buried in the heather in the summer.
The activity value for the investigation site, the so-called decomposition rate, was rated as medium to low - a value typical for sandy heather soils.
