Sedgwick Reserve

01 Jul, 02 AM - 30 Jul, 04 PM

Soil will be sampled in the Lisque Valley during 4 or more sampling events. Locations are in the general vicinity of the existing pedotron. A backhoe and operator will be needed to excavate down to approximately 1.5 meters so that soil cores can be acquired down to 1 meter from the face of each of 3 pits per sampling event. Soils will be sieved and bagged on site, in the field. Unused excavated material will be replaced into the pit by the backhoe operator after our small (1 kg samples each, appproximately 12 samples per pit) samples are acquired. Areas to be sampled will be selected to avoid any other experimental activities that are marked or indicated to us. Prior to each event, we will contact the Reserve Manager to schedule backhoe time and to review in the field our proposed sites so that we can be sure to avoid interferences to others' research. We access the sites by driving along Reserve roads and walking in, thus our physical disturbance will be low.
