Popis: | Deep soil‐profile sampling in wet, clayey soils can be difficult. Friction against the probe surface can cause core compression and impedes extraction of intact cores from the probe tube. Lubrication of the probe tube reduces friction and improves core extraction. Two studies were conducted to determine soil‐sample contamination resulting from probe lubrication and possible interactions with probe diameter (surface‐area:volume ratio) and sampling depth. Soils were sampled following probe lubrication and analyzed for organic matter and seven common nutrients. Lubricants tested contained varying amounts of organic matter (24‐>700 g/kg), nitrate‐N (NO3‐N, 3–205 m/kg), phosphate‐P (PO4‐P, 244 mg/kg), potassium (K, 2–1200 mg/kg), and zinc (Zn |
