Managed to complete all of the plant measurements today in the plots and move on to the trial run of the soil harvest. Unfortunately, the estimated soil core size was a bit too large and its already taken 50 hours to sort through the soil separating plant and moss species. So back to the drawing board with a smaller, differently designed corer (and fingers crossed).
Looks as though it may rain tomorrow, which might be a bit of an issue with the IRGA machine and the soil respiration measurements for Dave and point cover with Dylan, but we can still continue with the root and soil harvest stuff. Here's hoping for sun!
