Weekly gas samples from two depths in a long term experiment were analysed in 1973 and 1974 for carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, methane and ethylene. An attempt will be made to relate the varying concentrations to soil series, soil moisture, rainfall and temperature. Ethylene has been detected on several occasions.
