We have analyzed and compared concentrations of soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (STN) and other soil properties in different inundated areas based on governmental flood risk maps (recurrence intervals of 0 20 years and 20 100 years).
If he risks governmental intrusion "with consent," who may give that consent?
