摘要

Ecosystem budgets have been compiled and analyzed with the knowledge that inherent uncertainties exist in natural variability, analytical methods, sampling design, and model selection; however, these uncertainties are rarely propagated through ecosystem budget calculations. Soils are a particularly important area of uncertainty research due to their inherent spatial complexity and the difficulty of accurately sampling soil properties to encompass their variance across space and through the soil profile. A method of soil coring which utilizes a diamond-tipped, motor-driven, rotary corer may increase the expedience of sampling at depth and allow for a sampling scheme that is more representative of spatial variation compared to the use of traditional quantitative soil pits. However, the technique may be limited when attempting to characterize exchangeable cation concentrations of soils due to the grinding action of the corer. We found that soils from cored samples had elevated concentrations of exchangeable cations as compared to quantitative soil pits at sites in Nevada, California, New York, and New Hampshire. We also determined that the contamination in cored samples that is introduced when the corer is inserted and removed during sampling increased estimates of soil mass, exchangeable cations content, %C, and %N. The problem of contamination from inserting and removing the corer was more severe at the NH site, where a deep organic layer was present. Overall, we found that the corer increased concentrations of some cations at all four study sites, though the magnitude of this increase and the specific cations affected differed between sites. We suggest that the rotary corer may not provide precise measurements of soil properties relative to soil pits; however the rotary corer has the advantage of being a quick method for sampling at depth and can more accurately characterize spatial variability with the same effort needed to dig a quantitative pit. Thus, the corer may be appropriate for some study designs, particularly studies that are interested in using this sampling method to assess change over time.;Key Words: Uncertainty, ecosystem, soil, coring, sampling, hardwood forest, Monte Carlo, error analysis
