Randall’s Island Park’s Repository
The data repository for Randall’s Island Park serves as a resource hub – a compilation of the ecological and environmental monitoring and assessments performed on the island by the Alliance’s staff and community collaborators. Through this repository, researchers, students and community members can access detailed data sets, reports, and analyses, facilitating further research questions, informed decision-making, and strategic planning.
Randall’s Island Urban Farm soil samples reveal insights into soil biodiversity. The data shows that while the diversity of bacteria and fungi remains consistent across farm sites, the composition however, differs between older and younger sites. These findings help us understand how microbial communities evolve over time, improving our knowledge of urban soil ecosystems.
