The percent recovered should be less than 100% because some of it is sorbed on the soil even after filtration but a large variation from the median probably indicates leakage. Should not have been much of a problem on 7/30, but was more of an issue on 7/9. 7/30 values can give an indication of sorbtion rates. datetime_i: date and time initial sample was collected and put into KCl datetime_f: date and time final NO3 and NH4 samples were collected and put into KCl percentc: percent c in the moisture subsample of either the NH4 or NO3 core. 8 ug ground soil in CHN analyzer percentn: percent n in the moisture subsample of either the NH4 or NO3 core. 8 ug ground soil in CHN analyzer ¥ prelimsoils2006 PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS TO SEE IF THE 15N SOIL SURVEY WILL WORK sample_key: unique sample identification number, 40 total sample_id: sample codes fraction: density fraction used. heavy and light separated by NaPT 1.8 g cm-3. heavy and heavysieve separated by 250 µm sieve site: area samples were collected from. dry = dry meadow near the radio tower. wet = the central wetland in the catchment, just outside the forest near soddie, near bin 674 to 677. percentn: percent n measured in mass spec d15n: d15n measured in mass spec percentc: percent c measured in mass spec d13c: d13c measured in mass spec ¥ resins2007 Oct 2006 - Sept 2007 RESIN BAGS: sample: sample number corresponding to the 366 resin holes arrayed in transects across the soddie watershed.
