MicroBlitz (Western Australia)

What exactly is MicroBlitz?

MicroBlitz is a citizen science project where crowd-sourced science is building a state-wide map detailing the biodiversity and health of our environment using DNA sequencing to identify the biodiversity of microbes in our soils.

Together, we’ll create a baseline map, a point of reference that can be shared and used to monitor, manage and protect WA’s precious environment into the future.

MicroBlitz究竟为何物？
MicroBlitz是一项公民科学项目，通过众包科研模式，借助DNA测序技术鉴定土壤中的微生物物种多样性，进而绘制全州范围内的环境生物多样性与健康状况图谱。
我们将携手共建一份基线参考图谱，作为可供共享的参考基准，用于未来监测、管理与保护西澳大利亚州（WA）珍贵的生态环境。
