Soil salinity at GCE-LTER vegetation monitoring plots in October 2012

Soil samples were collected in conjunction with Fall 2011 plant monitoring at half of the permanent vegetation monitoring plots in the creekbank and midmarsh zones at 10 GCE study sites. Pore-water salinity was determined by analysis of supernatant salinity in dried soil samples hydrated with a measured volume of deionized water.

本研究于2011年秋季配合植物监测工作，在10个GCE研究站点的河滨带与中潮沼带的半数永久性植被监测样地中采集土壤样品。孔隙水盐度（Pore-water salinity）的测定流程为：将经定量体积去离子水（deionized water）水化后的干燥土壤样品进行上清液盐度（supernatant salinity）分析，以此获取孔隙水盐度的实测值。
