Preliminary results and measurement details
Continuous measurements are taken at the SSO. Measurements consist of:
- Soil moisture (TDR, tensiometer)
- Temperature
- Redox potential
- O2 and CO2 concentrations
These are supplimented by periodic measurements of:
- GPR and ERT measurements
- Penetration resistance
- Earthworm abundance and biomass
- Crops: biomass, roots
- Soil core sampling (10, 30 and 60 cm depth)
- Infiltration
