Summary: Soil Sampling for C and N analysis

Arrived at 13:30. It was cloudy and foggy. The water table was quite a bit higher than at our last visit three days ago. Most of the ponds and channels around the tower have filled in with water and are probably knee to hip deep.

We collected some more soil samples for soil chemistry (C, N). Soil samples for chemistry analysis were collected along three parallel transects, each 5m apart, with 6 sampling points, also each 5m apart. Samples were collected within the footprint of the eddy flux tower or slightly to the North of it, starting approximately 50m west and 40m north of the tower base and moving southwards from there towards the first soil sampling location.
At each sampling point three soil samples were collected, one each from 0-15cm, 15-30cm, and 30-60cm.
