Deep Soil Ecotron Soil Extraction

The Deep Soil Ecotron team in the U of I College of Agricultural and Life Sciences spent multiple days at the U of I Sandpoint Organic Agriculture Center extracting soil cores. The crew worked long days, ensuring the cores were stable and extracted carefully for testing and experimenting within the DSE. The soil extracted from SOAC, along with many other future sites, will allow investigators and scientists to simultaneously manipulate both abiotic and biotic factors such as climate, plant communities, soil types and more to better understand subsurface soils.⁠ The process of extraction is a meticulous and very painstaking process, as the DSE is the only one of its kind in the world. Stainless steel cores are lowered onto the soil surface, and large machine equipment pushes the core into the ground. The soil around the core is then dug out, allowing for a perfectly fitted core to be extracted. The crew would get about 10cm pushed down every time they hydraulically pushed the cores into the earth’s soil, leading to very long days of meticulous hand shoveling and removal of excess soil. Once the core is at the correct depth, the crew carefully cut and extracted the core, loading it onto a truck to be sent back to Moscow to be installed in the DSE EcoUnit and prepared for soil testing.⁠ ⁠ The DSE is nearing completion in the JW Martin Laboratory with plans to be fully operational by fall 2026. The soil cores from SOAC will allow researchers to begin working on experiments with limitless possibilities for the state-of-the-art facility in the future.
