Hydraulic Deep-Core Sampling Affects Bulk Density and Carbon Stock Measurements

Hydraulic sampling can induce artificial compaction or gaps in soil cores, which affects bulk density (BD) and carbon (C) stock estimation. We compared BD (0–120 cm) from hydraulic samples (BD) with soil pit samples (BD) within a corn (, L.)–soybean [ (L.) Merr.] rotation field in central Iowa. Alth...
