AB  - The long-time use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) led to a world-wide 
      contamination of environmental compartments. Although, bans of numerous POPs 
      reduced the POP input to rivers. Floodplain soils are still highly contaminated, 
      because they are sinks for these compounds, which restrict their agricultural 
      use. Hence, the intention of this study was the determination of 29 relevant POPs 
      in two soil depths (0-10 cm and 10-20 cm) of a field experiment to get a survey 
      on the small-scale spatial variability of the experimental site and to establish 
      a baseline for phytoremediation experiments. The POP concentrations ranged from 
      0.1 microg kg(-1) to 160 microg kg(-1) and showed an increase of dieldrin, 
      endrin, endosulfan I, endosulfan II, heptachlor, p,p'-DDE, o,p'-DDE and 
      methoxychlor concentrations on average in the river Elbe floodplains between the 
      years 1998 and 2007. However, there was a pronounced small-scale spatial 
      variability of POP concentrations in vertical and horizontal direction. The 
      latter was estimated by comparing the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the 
      POP concentrations in sample sets located at sites of increasing distance from 
      <1m to >10000 m.
