Soil Analysis Checklist

Soil analysis involves several key steps: collection, preparation, and analysis (chemical, physical, and biological). During collection, samples are gathered from specific areas and depths using tools like augers and spades, and then labeled. Preparation involves air-drying, debris removal, and crushing. Chemical analysis includes tests for pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient levels. Physical analysis focuses on texture, bulk density, porosity, and permeability. Biological analysis examines microbial biomass, soil fauna, root health, and microbial community structure. Finally, all data and observations are documented, compiled, and presented in a report for stakeholders or publication.
