In this study we compared soil characterization data from the NRCS Soil Survey Laboratory (SSL) at the National Soil Survey Center (NSSC) and Cornell Nutrient Analysis Laboratory (CNAL) for paired analyses of selected soil chemical and physical properties. This assessment of soil characterization data generated by CNAL and NSSC, as determined using simple linear regression, demonstrated substantial agreement between the two laboratories. The results can help local practitioners obtain data more rapidly through local university‐based laboratories, while still allowing comparison and statistical analyses with data provided by the national soil survey laboratory.
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.
