Soil aeration status can be inferred from the corrosion of steel rods inserted into the ground. The technique is inexpensive, non-destructive and can provide information on the vertical distribution of anaerobic conditions. Practical aspects of the use of steel rods and their interpretation are described.}, issn = {1935-5297}, URL = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/19/5/289}, eprint = {https://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/19/5/289.full.pdf}, journal = {Arboriculture \& Urban Forestry (AUF)} }
