Overview
The portable AMS Hollowstem auger kit provides the tools needed to reach a 6' depth. The augers cut a 3" diameter hole and have an ID of 1 1/8", making them suitable for soil, soil gas and groundwater sampling through a cased hole.
Use
A special Hollowstem soil probe, 7/8" OD by 24" long with slide hammer is included to allow collection of a soil sample through the auger. The AMS gas vapor probes may be used through these augers telescopically. Bailers up to 1" diameter may be used to collect groundwater samples.

Farmer-invented automated soil sampler reduces human error
A North Carolina farmer has developed a mobile soil sampling system with virtually no risk of human error, Southeast Farm Press reported. Allan Baucom, a grain and cotton farmer with more than 6,000 acres around Monroe, N.C., built the automated soil sampler to keep up with his expanding agricultural operations -- and growing variety of soil types. Named “the Falcon”, the sampler can take up to 12 samples and once, and store 200 before being unloaded. Two Falcons currently exist: one works Baucom’s farm, while the other operates on farms around the country to ensure the sampler’s efficiency in different environments. The sampler is expected to be made available soon, and will host new features, such as computer-interfaced electronic system for use with a laptop or tablet.

Bringing Fish Back: Reviving Britain’s Freshwater Habitats with the Wild Trout Trust
Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ” [caption id="attachment_39210" align="alignnone" width="940"] Remedial works underway to shore up the banks of the River Ecclesbourne.

Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes
While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.
