Statement

Ground gases were determined by positioning an 8 mm diameter steel tube in the ground to a depth of 70 cm below ground level. Samples of ground gas were pumped directly to a field instrument for analysis using a Geotechnical GA5000 landfill gas analyser (CO2, O2, H2, H2S and ‘residual balance’) or a Huberg LaserOne® methane analyser. Occasional gas samples were also collected into evacuated glass vials for laboratory analysis of d13C in CO2 to help inform the interpretation of data. Gas flux was determined by measuring the rate of flow of CO2 and CH4 into an accumulation chamber of known volume (2.8 x10-3 m3) placed at the soil surface, using a portable WEST Systems Fluxmeter®. More information is available in the accompanying report.
