- Statement
- 10 gram soil samples from the top 5 centimetre (cm) of soil were taken randomly within each 1metre (m) x 1m quadrat (fresh mass). Following a 1:2.5 dilution method, 25 millilitres ml of deionised water was added to the fresh mass and shaken on a rack for roughly 30 minutes. A Jenway 4320 combined pH & electrical conductivity meter was used to measure conductivity as a proxy for salinity. The location of the sample sites was determined by randomly allocated quadrats. Each site consisted of a rectangular area of saltmarsh between 400 x 500 metre (m) to 1000 x 1000 m in size, dependent upon saltmarsh length (parallel to shore) and width (perpendicular to shore), including part of the low, mid and high marsh zones. Twenty two 1 x 1 m quadrats were randomly allocated to each site rectangle using R (R Development Core Team, 2014) to specify four different spatial scales (A = 1 quadrat only, B = 3 quadrats at 1 m to 10 m apart, C = 6 quadrats at 10 m to 100 m apart, D = 12 quadrats at 100 m to 1000 m or site maximum).
