Field sampling
Field sampling is a method used to collect small portions or samples of natural materials, like soil, water, or plants, directly from a specific location. This process helps scientists analyze and understand the characteristics of an environment without needing to examine the entire area. By carefully selecting sample sites and methods, field sampling provides representative data that inform research, pollution assessments, or resource management. It’s a crucial step in ensuring accurate, real-world information is gathered efficiently and systematically during field studies.
