Large errors in soil carbon measurements attributed to inconsistent sample processing by R. J. Even, M. B. Machmuller, M. B. Machmuller, J. M. Lavallee, J. M. Lavallee, T. J. Zelikova, T. J. Zelikova, M. F. Cotrufo, M. F. Cotrufo

“…To gauge soil C measurement inter-variability, we conducted a blind external service laboratory comparison across eight laboratories selected based on status and involvement in SOC data curation used to inform C market exchanges, which could include demonstration projects, model validation, and project verification activities. Further, to better understand how soil processing procedures and quantification methods commonly used in soil testing laboratories affect soil C concentration measurements, we designed an internal experiment assessing the individual effect of several alternative procedures (i.e., sieving, fine grinding, and drying) and quantification methods on total (TC), inorganic (SIC), and organic (SOC) soil C concentration estimates. …”
