Details

The sampling of the data and the first series of chemical analyses with the XRF and HF-digestion is given in Van Der Veer (2006), https://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/13275

The second series of chemical analyses used two types of different extractions on the soil samples, i.e. 0.43M HNO3 and 0.01M CaCl2. Measurements were done with ICP-MS and ICP-OES.

For each analyses the limit of quantification was determined, the data presents the original concentrations and a seperate field indicates if the measurement is within the limits of quantification.

Besides this data.frame, the data.frame atlasmeta gives some additional meta data.
