| AFD | Ash Free Dry Weight | Denominator of concentration of a soil, sediment or other measurement is a mass of dry soil or sediment versus wet material or a volume of bulk material. The term "Ash Free" applies to samples dried in a muffle furnace typically at 550oC. |
| DRY | Dry Weight | Denominator of concentration of a soil, sediment or other measurement is a mass of dry soil or sediment versus wet material or a volume of bulk material. Material is typically dried in a drying oven at 105oC. |
| WET | Wet Weight | Denominator of concentration of a soil, sediment or other measurement is a mass of wet sediment versus dry material or a volume of bulk material. |
| BLK | Bulk | Denominator for material that has not been seived, sorted or dried (i.e. material is in the form in which it was collected). |
| STP | Std. Temp. & Pressure | Corrected to standard temperature & pressure, used in atmospheric analyses |
| LIP | Lipid Normalized | Denominator of a concentration measurement for a biological sample based on the lipid content of that sample. |
