RESEARCH: Columbia University Insect Study of NYC Community Gardens
Kristy
King presented her findings on Factors Contributing to the Assembly and
Maintenance of Insect Communities in Manhattan Community Gardens.. The effects
of plant structural complexity, food crop diversity, neighboring land uses,
and trees bordering the garden were measured and used as independent variables
to predict the diversity, abundance, and ratio of parasitoid wasps and Hemipteran
pests. Six wasp species were collected that were unique to the West 104th
street gardens!
