Gas sampling, intact soil core sampling and a data logger issue

Spetember 26, 2006

Collected gas samples in LWG,LWB,RCG,RWG,RWB,JWB and JWG.

Collected intact soil cores in the sites.

Took out old soil bags in RCG, RWB,and RWG and buried new soil bags in the sites.

The data logger of LWB was damaged by recent flooding, so we took out the data logger. We left a soil moisture and temperature sensors in the site.

N mineralization experiment

July 27, 2006

Collected the buried bags which was installed April, 2006 in RWG, RWB and RCG and took out the soil from the bags.

Placed subsoil of the soil into bottles containing 100 ml 2M KCl and some subsoil transported to the lab and determined soil moisture.

Sampled 3 of 10cm intact soil cores in gas chambers of each site and placed it into poly-bags and buried again. Placed the subsoil into bottles containing 100ml 2M KCl and some subsoil transported to the lab to determine soil moisture.

Shanked the bottles about 1hr and allowed it to settle about 1hr and filterate the solution.

The solution was freezed and storaging in the freezer.
