Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are measuring flux at a soil-air interface. If measurements show a 10% increase in contaminant concentration with a corresponding 5% increase in area covered, calculate the new flux.
💡 Hint: Use basic percentage increase formulas.
Design a long-term study to monitor flux changes during seasonal variations. What parameters do you need to consider?
💡 Hint: Seasonal changes should influence your measurements; plan accordingly.
