6/15:
Started processing these soils at about 1815 today -- rather late for samples taken about 1100, so might be a bit too dry.
Dry weights taken 21 hours later.
Comparison sensor measurements read by eye from WWW plot.
6/21: 1200
In both cases, should have driven the corer further in (collar was flush, but apparently had compacted) -- use 0-2cm in both cases. a.soil also still had some litter and b.soil had some roots.
6/26: 1015
A bit drier than before. Mike Daniels helped. I think we got the whole 3cm in the top sample, though the soil may have been compacted in the process.
7/3: 1015/1025
A bit wetter due to some rain last night. Note that the wetness profile probably isn't uniform, though Qsoils did show an uptick. b 0-3cm probably was compacted too much (too dense). Scales have been moved into base trailer (from AABC lab).
