Another way to collect a stool sample is to loosely place plastic wrap across the rim of the toilet, under the seat. Then place the stool sample in a clean, sealable container before taking to the laboratory. Plastic wrap can also be used to line the diaper of an infant or toddler who is not yet using the toilet. The stool should be collected into clean, dry plastic jars with screw-cap lids.
Effects of rising temperatures. Increased soil respiration â Rising temperature increases the rate of chemical and biochemical reactions. For soil microbes and roots, that also means increasing respiration, which can release more carbon dioxide and even methane from soils.
Climate Through effects of precipitation and temperature, climate affects the rates of biological, chemical and physical processes involved in soil formation. Effects of climate on soil formation include: High precipitation and low temperature increase organic matter in soil. Forest type, deciduous versus coniferous. also affects soil development because the. higher rate of nutrient cycling in deciduous. forest retards leaching of basic cations and. soil acidification.
