Description

Soil as well as sediment analysis for agri-environmental research may require the ability to take precise depth increments. Existing equipment (e.g. soil augers and corers, classical bulk density cylinders, scraper plate systems) does not allow collecting millimeter fine increments of soil and there are no standardized existing guidelines for conducting such precise vertical sampling
