The protocol used to perform this experiment was followed as indicated by Simmons (2009). Three labeled glass jars with screw tops were obtained and approximately 8 grams of soda lime was added to only two of the jars. The other jar without soda lime served as a control to account for any CO2 already present in the chamber. All three jars were labeled with a number and location. Both jars containing the granules were oven dried to remove any water content for 24-hours. Next, jars were removed from the oven, transferred to a desiccator and the masses of both jars were recorded.Sampling equipment, along with jars and chambers was brought out to the field. Uncovered chambers were placed upside down into the experimental sites, cutting through
