This slide presentation (June 24, 2003) describes a vegetable-garden study at the Augusta Forestry Center (Crimora, VA) by the South River Science Team. It outlines sampling methods (1-m circles, coring), locations (floodplain Areas 1–2 and a control), soil total mercury results (control average ~0.027 μg/g; floodplain spots up to 53.5 μg/g) and next steps to plant gardens for uptake tests.

Review Notes :
Slides clearly show sampling methods, locations, and soil Hg concentrations including a control (avg ~0.027 μg/g) and high floodplain spot values (up to 53.5 μg/g). It is unclear which area the 'Avg ± C.I. = 0.48 ± 0.08 (n=20)' refers to. The deck does not present plant tissue uptake results; LOQ value is shown with a question mark on one slide.
