Lineage Samples taken in the field were shipped to Aberystwyth University for analysis. Descriptions on analysis methids included in the data and associated reports. The measurements made on soil samples were: moisture content; weight loss on ignition at 400 degrees C; total Carbon and Nitrogen %; pH; conductivity; texture (sand, silt and clay contents) and texture class. In addition annions and cations were measured on samples where the conductivity exceeded 2000 µS/cm. Hydraulic conductivity measures were calculated from the infilrometer data recorded on site.Please refer to the spreadsheet for details on methodology.
