Sample Results
We provide sample results as hand written lab bench sheets or as computer
generated reports. Reports are written in standard scientific format and
include information on field and laboratory methods, data analysis procedures,
data summary tables, taxonomic lists, and a list of references. You can obtain
all or part of each report in a variety of electronic formats, e.g., spreadsheets
with data summary fields or taxa by sample matrix. Occasionally, we modify
our standard methods to meet particular needs. For example, we will
determine invertebrate biomass or organic matter ash free dry mass of samples.
