Preparation of Large Core Samples from Stony Soils¹

ABSTRACT

A method was developed to take large, undisturbed soil cores in stony soils. An undisturbed soil core was surrounded with concrete, frozen to –22°C and cut to shape with a diamond circular saw, leaving only core sample. The core sample was surrounded with paraffin to maintain its shape.
