Abstract
Over the last three years the Centre for Soil Treatment has sampled 2570 soil stockpiles for the assessment of soil quality. For all stockpiles the same sampling strategy was used. 100 increments of approximately 180 grams were taken and collected into two batch samples. Appropriate sample pre-treatment and analyses resulted in two sets of analytical results per stockpile. These paired results were statistically interpreted in order to define the heterogeneity of the original soil stockpiles. By estimating this original heterogeneity, the effectiveness of the used sampling strategy could be determined. It is concluded that the chosen sampling strategy is adequate for the majority of soil stockpiles.
