A new prototype pore-water sampler is proposed which allows temporal sampling of pore-water from intertidal sediments. The system consists of a nylon device provided with regularly spaced chambers, double filtering ports and pipes for in-situ sample recovering. The field use of this apparatus for determining sulfur species in pore-waters is described; a satisfactory agreement between data obtained by using the proposed in-situ sampler and by core-squeezing in proper experimental conditions is found. Finally, advantages and differences with respect to other in-situ samplers are critically evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
