  1. Location: Cedar Falls/Waterloo & Blackhawk Co, Iowa • Some of the driving Scientific Questions: • Can a simple land-surface model (GAPS) be used to predict the effect of tillage on soil health? • How different are air temperatures over tilled and no-till fields? • Does the amount of soil that is washed away by rain vary between tilled and non-tilled fields? • Does tilling affect whether hummingbirds will use a field for their habitat? • This is a collaborative effort between GLOBE scientists, area students and other members of the local community to better understand the effect of tillage practice on the integrated earth system.
