To Erik Kiviat the water pools are biological gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/erik-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption>Erik Kiviat examines invertebrates with a magnifying glass. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wetland scientist, Kiviat is the executive director of Hudsonia and a member of the Applied Farmscape Ecology Research Collective. Over the past year, he been collecting samples from the small, seasonal pools created by everything from pick-up trucks to Mother Nature. It could be a gravel pit that has filled with water from rain or a soft patch of field that has become a pseudo swamp. On a recent weekday, they were several palm-sized pools of water in a drying temporary pond on Farm Hub land just off Route 209.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kiviat dips his hand into the pool, cups his palm to preserve the water, and looks through a portable magnifying glass. \u201cSee there, I think they are mosquitoes,\u201d he says. Tiny black mosquito larvae wiggle in his palm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He jots the details down and places the insects in a vial of alcohol, which preserves them for laboratory study.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26599\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/big-pools-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>From left to right, Anne Bloomfield and Teresa Dorado of the Applied Farmscape Ecology Program join Kiviat on a search for invertebrates in puddles and pools of water. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To date he\u2019s sampled more than 20 bodies of water, the majority of them in Ulster County, to identify small insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and other invertebrates. Erik and his colleagues have found well over 100 types of invertebrates in these temporary pools. The variety of species found has included clam shrimp, flatworms, beetles, and yes, mosquitoes. The pools also are a nursery for the tadpoles of toads and frogs. In the delicate balance between ecology and farming, the scientist notes that the pools of water provide a habitat for these life forms. They should not be immediately filled in as they support many kinds of wildlife including animals that live in no other kind of habitat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSmall pools that fill after heavy rains and dry down in summer are one of the least understood kinds of aquatic habitats. These pools are the home of literally hundreds of kinds of small animals. Besides invertebrates, the pools at the Farm Hub produce large numbers of toads which might even be beneficial to the farm by consuming insects in the crop fields,&#8221; Kiviat says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>-Amy Wu<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erik Kiviat, cient\u00edfico especializado en humedales, estudia los peque\u00f1os charcos de agua estacionales de las granjas, entre ellas Farm Hub.
