Description

A data frame of regional and field duplicate samples from the Maritimes 2007 North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes survey. The analyses are for <2 mm unmilled C-horizon soil samples, and the determinations were made by ICP-OES or -MS following an Aqua Regia digestion.

Usage

Format

A data frame with 186 observations for the following 3 variables:

ID

the NAmSGLs unique site identifier.

RS

the Replicate Status code.

Ba_ppm

the barium determinations, mg/kg

Details

The Replicate Status code indicates the ‘position’ of the geochemical sample in the QA/QC structure. RS = 2 indicates the field duplicate, and RS = 1 indicates a routine regional coverage site that was ‘duplicated’. All other routine regional coverage sites are coded RS = 0.

Source

The Geological Survey of Canada, see Open File 6433, from which this data subset for barium (Ba) was extracted.
