Purpose
Data not provided. 
Lineage
The collection of physico-chemical characteristics of soil from the Alice Mulga site was conducted in 2013. Soil samples were collected using a slide hammer (AMS Soil Core Sampler, Envco: The Environmental Collective, Auckland, New Zealand) to extract intact cores (38 mm diameter x 10 cm depth to a total depth of 1.4 m) for laboratory analysis. Soil samples were dried in a 105˚ C oven for 48 h then sub-sampled and placed in a 370˚ C oven for another 48 h to burn off organic matter. 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Alice Mulga site is approximately 200 km north of Alice Springs on Pine Hill Cattle Station in the Northern Territory. It lies in the arid and semi-arid portion of mainland Australia that receives less than 500 mm of annual rainfall.
