Advanced soil geochemical atlas of England and Wales
The Advanced Soil Geochemical Atlas of England and Wales was a joint project between the British Geological Survey and Rothamsted Research. The maps are based on 5700 surface soil samples (0-15cm), collected across England and Wales, that have been analysed for 52 major and trace elements. The soil samples collected for the National Soil Inventory (NSI)

The concentrations of aluminium were determined using wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry with a lower limit of detection of 0.05 % and typical coefficients of variation of around 3% for repeated analyses of certified reference materials. The coefficient of variation (CV) expresses the error associated with subsampling and analysis; CV values of less than around 10 % suggest that analyses are reasonably accurate.
