Webinar on the implementation of the standard operating procedure for soil organic carbon (Walkley and Black: titration and colorimetric methods)
Date and time: 17 November 2021 | 10:00 AM CET | Language: English
This webinar presents the standard operating procedure for soil organic carbon (Walkley and Black: titration and colorimetric methods) published by GLOSOLAN in 2020. The lecturers will provide an insight of the procedure, describing each step of the measurement, from sample preparation to quality assurance and control, including remarks on health and safety. Participants will have the chance to raise questions and directly interact with the speakers in a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
