Short
distance (sample scale) correlation
nSignificant
correlation scale of 0.2-0.5m. None up to 10m.
Apparently unrelated to vegetation patterns. Also
unrelated to SM status. Soils?
nImplication:
Hand held sampling is unrepeatable at the hillslope
scale, though fixed sites indicate significant
spatial correlation at this scale.
nMore
handheld sampling planned in March for the 10-1000m
scale.
nIf SM
correlation can be used as surrogate for soil variability
what drives the soil variability? Implications
for hydrology?
