Sampling variances and analytical variances were estimated in a study of five chemical forms of Mn in nine soil types from a greenhouse experiment. A sampling and analytical quality control scheme and a robust analysis of variance were used for this purpose and proved appropriate. The resulting stat

β¦ Synopsis
The bias and the precision of the analytical method used were initially assessed using reagent blanks and duplicate analyses of each sample. Furthermore, a sampling and analytical quality control scheme (SAX) was conducted and robust analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to estimate the proportions of random errors introduced by sampling and analytical procedures. The results show that the precision of measurement and analysis, though worse than the traditional target of 10%, was good enough for a clear description of geochemical variation between sample sites. The effect of Al contamination seemed to be more sensitive in the chemical analysis than in sampling procedure. Moreover, the application of SAX to the study suggests that the analytical precision required must be judged by comparison with both sampling precision and true geochemical variation.

## Abstract A routine method has been developed for the determination of boron in plant and soil samples. The boron in the prepared samples is converted into BF~4~β in a H~2~SO~4~βHF system, then extracted as a coloured complex with AzureβC (or mthylne blue) into dichloroethane and finally determin
Two-and three-factorial designs have been used to optimize the supercritical fluid acetylation-extraction of o-cresol, m-cresol and p-cresol in soil samples. Overall, nine variables (carbon dioxide flow rate, fluid density, extraction cell temperature, static extraction time, nozzle and trap tempera
