Abstract
A field sampling event was conducted to measure the concentrations of metals within the trunks of felled trees on a college campus east of New York City. Heavy metals, particularly chromium, were found present in the soils surrounding the sampled trees, allowing for a correlation coefficient to be calculated with soil and tree concentrations. A statistically significant Pearson correlation was found between these two concentrations among the samples. This study is aimed at providing researchers a starting point for their research a better understanding of local ecologies, prediction of future change, and dissemination of conservation efforts.
