Decision Letter
Both reviewers found the soil-sampling design and micronutrient assay methodology sound. Reviewer 2 asks that you clarify the compositing procedure used across the nine sampling locations in Section 2.2, and expand the discussion of zinc and boron variability relative to soil pH. No further review round is expected once these points are addressed.
