Soil physicochemical characterisation.
| Parameter | Unit | Value |
|---|---|---|
| pH | n/a | 8.2 ± 0.05a |
| Moisture content | % | 20 ± 1.1a |
| %WHC | % | 29 ± 0.2a |
| Total organic carbon | % | ∼3b |
| Available phosphorus | mg/kg soilDW | 24.7 |
| Available sulphate | mg/kg soilDW | 76.4 |
| Nitrate Nitrogen | mg/kg soilDW | <0.05 |
| Total nitrogen | % | 0.161 |
DW – dry weight; FW – fresh weight; n/a – not applicable; TPH – total petroleum hydrocarbon (sum of TPH-CWG analysis); WHC – water holding capacity.
