Metadata details
AAS_4158_POA_ANNUA_Herbicide
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This data set describes the persistence and movement of herbicides in 2 soil types from Macquarie Island. The soil characterization spreadsheet provides physical and chemical analyses of several Macquarie Island soils. A column leaching experiment was then used to assess the leaching and persistence in two Macquarie Island soils. Details of this experimental set up, and collection of leachate samples is provided in the Core leaching data spreadsheet. These samples were then analysed using LCMS to determine the concentration of glyphosate and AMPA in the leachate (Leachate samples_analysis).
Poa annua is an invasive species to Macquarie Island.
Purpose
This data is part of a PhD project assessing the movement and persistence of herbicides in Macquarie Island soils, in relation to potential control of Poa annua.
