Soil, Tissue & Water Sampling
Proper sampling ensures that results are representative, reproducible, and accurate, which is crucial for environmental monitoring, carbon accounting, and agricultural management.
Some important factors to consider when sampling include:
- Accuracy & representiveness
- Minimising contamination
- Consistent depth & location
- Sample preparation & handling
- Data comparability & project integrity
Lambda have the equipment and experience to offer comprehensive sampling services, including 'in-tact' cores to 30cm for accurate soil carbon determination and sample prepapration for the laboratory.
