Forestry analysis (according to HFA)

Please select from

Pfälzerwald

Range of Services: Plant/Leaf samples (Forest)

LUFA Speyer has been cooperating with the Rhineland-Palatinate Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Forestry for more than 40 years and carries out chemical analyses as part of forest environmental monitoring.

The matrices soil, water and plant are analyzed. Sample preparation and analysis is carried out according to the documented methods of the Handbook of Forestry Analysis (HFA).

The following methods are used for plant samples:

  • Sample preparation (drying and grinding)
  • Pressure digestion with nitric acid
  • Determination of elements from the extracts (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P,S Se, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn)
  • Determination of carbon and nitrogen
  • Determination of the ash content
