Trends in selected trace element monitoring data in the Waikato region 2001-2022

This report presents trends in the data since 2007 and discusses the main trace element issues facing the Waikato region. The current report investigates the concentrations of trace element in soil under common land uses and soil orders in rural Waikato. Analysis using mixed modelling techniques is presented for 2001-2016. Urban land has not been assessed in this report due to the small proportion of land in urban land use (<5%) and issues around access and privacy.
