Notice Title

Long Term Monitoring Network - Soils analysis 2018/19

Notice Description

The Long-term Monitoring Network (LTMN) comprises 37 sites, mainly on National Nature Reserves, in England, where a wide range of environmental parameters are being monitored with the aim of detecting long-term changes in biodiversity and ecosystem function associated with climate change, pollution and land management. A suite of soil parameters are included in this monitoring to enable interpretation of above and below-ground environmental changes and to indicate long-term changes in soil characteristics, functions and biodiversity. For the monitoring year 2018-2019 all sites where soils monitoring is required will have their fieldwork and sampling carried out by Natural England staff and volunteers. This contract therefore requires no fieldwork, and relates to sample processing, analysis and reporting of results only.
