Quality Two samples of vegetated soil were collected randomly and taken in sterile
bags. The water content and pH of samples was determined immediately in Terra
Nova Bay station. Back to Italy, concentrations of inorganic nutrient were
measured in soil extracts and in moss soil subsamples digested with
concentrated HNO3 in a Teflon bomb at 120 degrees. Element were determined by
inductively coupled plasma-atomic spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption
spectrometry (AAS) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS).
Total organic C and N were determined in bulked soil subsamples (powdered and
sieved at 0.125 mm) according to the procedure outline by Gaudette et al.
(1974) and the Kjeldhal method, respectively.
