Microbial and soil moisture impacts of compost amendments and rainfall pulses in a degraded dryland soil, Arizona, 2021-2023

Compost, an organic soil amendment, has been proposed to increase soil carbon storage and water-holding capacity in drylands, and this management strategy may be particularly impactful in degraded drylands with low soil organic content. Compost additions and rainfall variability may interact to affect soil moisture, which is an important catalyst for soil microbial activity. This dataset is from a study that investigated how variable compost application amounts and simulated rainfall pulses affect soil moisture, microbial activity, and carbon content in a laboratory incubation study. Soils were amended with different amounts of compost (0, 0.35, and 0.70 g cm -2) and water pulses (5, 10, and 15 mm) in a full-factorial design. Each treatment received the same cumulative amount of water throughout the incubation, but pulses occurred at different frequencies (every 5, 10, and 15 days). Soil moisture content and microbial respiration were measured daily. Soil carbon content was measured at the end of the experiment.

Marcell Experimental Forest 10-minute soil temperature and moisture, 2008 - ongoing

This data set is a record of soil temperature and volumetric water content (soil moisture) on two upland mineral soil hillslopes at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Itasca County, Minnesota. These data are collected as part of the long-term monitoring program at the S2 catchment, which has 6.5 ha of upland mineral soil that surrounds a central 3.2 ha peatland. Soil temperature and moisture are recorded every 10 minutes since 2008 at S2S, a north-facing hillslope that is south of the S2 bog. Measurements at S2N, a south-facing hillslope that is north of the S2 bog, began during 2009. Measurements were recorded at two depths at each of three different relative positions (downslope, mid-slope, and upslope) on the two hillslopes. The MEF is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

Summer soil temperature and moisture at the Anaktuvuk River Severely burned site from 2010 to 2013

Soil moisture and temperature were recorded at the Anaktuvuk River burn area during the summers from 2010 to 2013. Six sensors were deployed and measured temperature on half-hourly intervals over the summer and into the fall depending on battery function. Sensors were place in a hexagonal shape around a central data logger. Note that over time sensor depths changed due to frost heave and other environmental factors. All data contained should be treated as suspect where sensors may have been at surface. These sensors were removed August 20, 2013, no replacement sensors were installed.

Model estimates of runoff, dissolved organic carbon, soil temperature and moisture for Elson Lagoon watershed, Alaska, 1981-2020

This dataset contains model estimates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) yield (mg C/m^2) and runoff (mm), for surface and subsurface flows, soil temperature (degree C), and soil moisture (% of soil volume) for grid cells spanning the Elson Lagoon watershed in northwest Alaska. Daily air temperature, precipitation, and wind speed data from Utqiagvik airport were used for meteorological forcings for the daily simulation by the Permafrost Water Balance Model (PWBM) from 1981 to 2020. The DOC and runoff data files are organized by grid cell and month. The soil temperature and soil moisture files are organized by grid cell and day of year (DOY), and contain values for the first eight model soil layers, with centers of the layers at 1, 3, 8, 13, 23, 33, 45, 55 cm depth. The estimates are most useful for analyses of the dynamics of the watershed’s surface and subsurface runoff and DOC yield. Leachate DOC concentrations can be obtained using the gridded runoff and yield values. A manuscript describing the data and associated analysis has been accepted for publication in Environmental Research Letters (Rawlins et al., 2021).

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Litter and Soil Decomposition: Gravimetric Soil Moisture

The influence of inorganic nitrogen (N) inputs on decomposition is poorly understood. Some prior studies suggest that N may reduce the decomposition of substrates with high concentrations of lignin via inhibitory effects on the activity of lignin-degrading enzymes, although such inhibition has not always been demonstrated. The purpose of E145 was to study the effects of nitrogen (N) addition on decomposition of seven substrates ranging in initial lignin concentrations (from 7.4 - 25.6%) over five years in eight different grassland and forest sites in central Minnesota.

Shrub influence on soil moisture, nutrients, temperature and species composition, 2019 - 2020.

Shrubification, the expansion and densification of shrubs, is occurring in arctic and alpine zones across the globe (Myers-Smith et al., 2011)⁠. This alteration is primarily driven by warming temperatures (Elmendorf et al., 2012b, 2012a)⁠, and can have major consequences for the existing vegetation (Anthelme et al., 2007; Pajunen et al., 2011; Venn et al., 2014)⁠ and for nutrient pools (Sturm et al., 2005; DeMarco et al., 2014)⁠ due to the abiotic and biotic effects of shrubs. Shrubs accumulate snow which insulates the ground during the winter and provides more moisture later in the season (Liston et al., 2002)⁠. During the summer, shrubs provide shade and wind protection. Additionally, shrubs can increase the soil nitrogen (N) pool through their high input of plant material into the soil (DeMarco et al., 2014). These small-scale climatic and soil alterations have important consequences for plant community dynamics in the arctic and alpine.

SEV-LTER Mean - Variance Experiment Plains Grassland Soil Moisture and Temperature

We designed novel field experimental infrastructure to resolve the relative importance of changes in the climate mean and variance in regulating the structure and function of dryland populations, communities, and ecosystem processes. The Mean - Variance Experiment (MVE) adds three novel elements to prior designs that have manipulated interannual variance in climate in the field (Gherardi & Sala, 2013) by (i) determining interactive effects of mean and variance with a factorial design that crosses reduced mean with increased variance, (ii) studying multiple dryland biomes to compare their susceptibility to transition under interactive climate drivers, and (iii) adding stochasticity to our treatments to permit the antecedent effects that occur under natural climate variability. This new infrastructure enables direct experimental tests of the hypothesis that interactions between the mean and variance of precipitation will have larger ecological impacts than either the mean or variance in precipitation alone. A subset of plots have soil moisture and temperature sensors to evaluate treatment effectiveness by addressing, How do MVE manipulations alter the mean and variance in soil moisture and temperature? And How does micro-environmental variation among plots influence how treatments alter soil moisture profiles over three soil depths? This data package includes sensor data from the Mean x Variance experiment in the Plains grassland ecosystem at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, NM, which is dominated by the grass species Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama).

We designed novel field experimental infrastructure to resolve the relative importance of changes in the climate mean and variance in regulating the structure and function of dryland populations, communities, and ecosystem processes. The Mean x Variance Experiment (MVE) adds three novel elements to prior designs (Gherardi & Sala 2013) that have manipulated interannual variance in climate in the field by (i) determining interactive effects of mean and variance with a factorial design that crosses a drier mean with increased (more) variance, (ii) studying multiple dryland ecosystem types to compare their susceptibility to transition under interactive climate drivers, and (iii) adding stochasticity to our treatments to permit the antecedent effects that occur under natural climate variability. This new infrastructure enables direct experimental tests of the hypothesis that interactions between the mean and variance of precipitation will have larger ecological impacts than either the mean or variance in precipitation alone. A subset of plots have soil moisture and temperature sensors to evaluate treatment effectiveness by addressing, How do MVE manipulations alter the mean and variance in soil moisture and temperature? And, how does micro-environmental variation among plots influence how much MVE treatments alter soil moisture profiles over three soil depths? This data package includes soil moisture and temperature sensor data from the Mean x Variance Climate experiment in the Desert grassland ecosystem at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, NM.
