The Survey has been carried out at regular intervals since 1978. The countryside is sampled and studied using rigorous scientific methods, allowing us to compare results from later surveys with those from previous surveys. In this way, we can detect the gradual and subtle changes that occur in the countryside over time. A series of reports have been published outlining the main findings for UK and individual countries, most recently in 2007. This collection belongs to a new phase of Countryside Survey which has adopted a rolling program of monitoring as of 2019 (as the UKCEH Countryside Survey/UKCEH-CS).

Units are micro-M. Porewater was transferred from the collection syringe to an open syringe barrel containing an oxygen sensor via a 3-way valve. O2 concentrations were measured with a fast response microelectrode (50microm tip, Unisense). Readings from the microelectrode were displayed on a pico-ammeter (PA 2000; Unisense) and logged after 4s when the signal had stabilized. Calibration was performed with a zero solution (0.1M sodium ascorbate in 0.1M sodium hydroxide) and a solution of known O2 concentration (determined via Winkler titration). Through laboratory simulation with de-oxygenated water we estimate that O2 contamination during sample transfer and measurement was 10micro-M and have subtracted this value from the data.
