Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the relevant field of soil samplers, in particular to a PVC soil column sampler which can reduce the vertical compression of soil. Background Art

[0002] According to the Technical Regulations for Carbon Stock Investigation and Assessment of Salt Marsh Ecosystems (Pilot Draft), the method for investigating underground biomass of carbon stock of salt marsh plants requires: using a PVC soil column sampler to collect columnar samples at a depth of 100 cm in the middle of the sample plot; the PVC soil column sampler should be driven in slowly to ensure that there is no obvious vertical compression.

[0003] The current method is to buy PVC tubes with suitable diameters, matching caps and tapes from the market, cut the PVC tubes into 100 cm lengths, make PVC sampling tubes, and mark the scale with a marker. When sampling, cover the upper end of the PVC sampling tube with a wooden board, hit the wooden board with a hammer to knock the PVC sampling tube into the soil, and after reaching the sampling depth, dig a 100 cm pit on one side of the PVC sampling tube, lift the PVC tube from the bottom up to remove it from the soil, ensure that the bottom soil sample is in its original state, and seal the two ends with matching caps and tapes after taking it out; after sampling, use a stainless steel saw or electric circular saw to cut in layers according to the depths of 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, 30-40 cm, 40-50 cm and 50-100 cm.

[0004] When implementing the above operations, firstly, the PVC sampling tube has poor cutting ability, because the salt marsh soil is moist and sticky and the plant root resistance is large, which makes the PVC sampling tube difficult to insert and the soil is prone to vertical compression; secondly, after the PVC sampling tube is inserted, it is difficult to remove it because the PVC sampling tube has no handle and the salt marsh soil has strong adhesion, which requires manual digging, which consumes manpower and a large workload; thirdly, after removal, the markings on the PVC sampling tube are blurred and difficult to distinguish, and it needs to be cleaned before cutting, which is time-consuming.
