Gathering information in a wetland survey involves digging a hole to check the soil against a color chart. This helps us figure out if the soil in that spot is the kind that indicates a wetland. It's important because it's one of the factors that decide if an area is officially classified as a wetland. #wetland #environment #sustainability #coastalrestoration #restoration

Soil sampling cross-contamination can occur from not cleaning sampling tools between each sample, resulting in a misleading soil profile. Watch the full video for this and other considerations for successful soil sampling. https://loom.ly/oVfWDQk #LoneStarDrills #SoilSampling #GeotechnicalDrilling

🚨 Hot off the press! The all-new and improved 2024 Field Indicators of Hydric Soils guidelines have just been released!

Step behind the scenes of our large plot trial at The James Hutton Institute Glensaugh! 🪨🚜 Just as we do on our partner farms, we are using a commercial spreader to deploy our crushed basalt rock. The trays visible on the ground are spreader calibration trays designed with a series of grid inserts to capture all the rock as it is spread. After spreading, this material will be weighed for precise calibration or verification of the actual amount spread. Having accurate baseline data is essential. Smiling in the beautiful Scottish weather here are the JHI team members, Matt and Malcolm, who are collecting soil samples before application. These samples are taken from various locations and depths within each plot to accurately determine a wide range of soil parameters before application. We will monitor this trial over the coming years to gather data on the effect of the basalt on the health of the soil and pasture.

One of the most important aspects of site-specific nutrient management is precision soil sampling such as grid- and zone-based strategies to determine varying soil nutrient levels within a field. And for grid soil sampling, one of the most important considerations is the size of the grids as it affects both the sampling resolution and costs. Questions and concerns from growers about the effectiveness of different grid sizes in accurately depicting soil nutrient variability have become common recently, warranting an investigation into how grid size affects application accuracy and economics of site-specific nutrient management in the southeastern U.S. CCAs: Earn 0.5 CEUs in Nutrient Management by reading this article and taking the quiz Simerjeet Virk Matthew Tucker Glen Harris Amanda Smith UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
