Table 29 shows the detailed analysis of four of the borehole cores
Table 30 shows the results of the analysis done on all the borehole cores
Table 31 shows the gravimetric moisture content of each sample estimated using additional data supplied by TES Bretby
Results expressed in mg/kg air dried unless otherwise stated
*Water soluble Sulphate on 2:1 water:soil extract. Moisture content determined from air dried sample. Organic matter
