The text file "Soil_sample_analyses_1.txt" contains results of discrete soil samples (cores and surface samples) collected at selected vacant lot locations in St. Louis, Missouri, in November and December of 2018. Sample results include soil organic matter (SOM) weight loss, black carbon weight loss, inorganic carbon weight loss, soil organic matter in milligrams per gram (mg/g), black carbon in mg/g, and inorganic carbon in mg/g, and black carbon fraction in percent. Samples were analyzed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development using methods provided in Schifman and others (2018).
