  • Dataset Abstract
    Soil pH, Eh and temperature readings are taken at TS/Ph1b,TS/Ph2,TS/Ph3 and TS/Ph6b. These measurements are taken only when the marsh is wet. Measurements are taken using an Orion model 250A meter, and the probes attached to the meter are the Orion Thermo pH probe and the Orion Eh probe. All readings are recorded in field notebooks, and then transferred into Microsoft Excel. The Eh reading is taken when the Eh probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen. The pH and temperature reading are taken when the pH probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen.

  • Methods
    Sampling Description
    Both the pH and Eh probes are inserted in the top 5cm of the soil layer within the sawgrass 1m2 non-destructive above ground biomass plots. The Eh reading is taken when the Eh probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen. The pH and temperature reading are taken when the pH probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen.

    Description
    Both the pH and Eh probes are inserted in the top 5cm of the soil layer within the sawgrass 1m2 non-destructive above ground biomass plots. The Eh reading is taken when the Eh probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen. The pH and temperature reading are taken when the pH probe is attached to the meter and the word "Ready" appears on the meter screen.

    Instrumentation
    Orion Model 250A Meter Thermo Orion pH probe Orion Eh probe

    Quality Control
    Since the pH/Eh meter has a "Ready" signal the data is reviewed by the PI and Field Technicain for possible data entry errors.
