Discuss the soil samples, materials and methods used for soil sampling.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Soil samples were collected by hand from a specific location which is Carpenter’s Bayou core section 6-8 and placed into vail tubes Hodgeman waders were used to collect the sample materials. Diatoms species counts were attained for each sample per set slide area using the following methods.

Placed 0.1g (1g dry soil material into a plastic petri dish and placed on the scale. Process repeated 3 times. I used to sieve water samples using 45, 90,125 micron sieve and washed residue with approximately 3ml deionized H20. Repeated process 3 times for each sieve micron. Adding water to the corner to make sure all the mud is washed away. We leave the samples to dry for 3 days and then place it in thin sections or into slides. Identifications were made with: location it was collect, data, and names of the group participants.
