Roughness sampling

Soil surface roughness measurements were made using a 1m long drop pin profiler with a pin separation of 25mm (see Figure below). The same measurements were made at 2 or 3 different locations within each of the 18 focus farms. At each soil roughness sampling location, 2 lots of consecutive readings (to simulate a 2m long profile) were performed in North-South and East-West orientations, respectively.

Roughness sampling at Focus Farm 17, Patch 09.

The locations of all roughness sampling measurements per patch are shown below. By clicking the icon of an individual roughenss sampling measurement, photographs of the pin profiler readings and plots of the measured data can be browsed.
