Abstract

[Effective environmental sampling has two parts—representative sampling and accurate measurements. Both offer challenges. Performing successful sampling requires consideration of sufficient sample number, appropriate locations, and representative sample type (e.g., shallow, deep, composite). Ultimately, we attempt to represent large environmental volumes with a few small samples. Thus, careful thought is required to ensure representative sampling, and several “textbook” strategies exist to accomplish this.]
