Leaf leachate chemistry and uptake metrics in headwater streams July 2015
This dataset contains the results of uptake experiments conducted at Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed in July 2015. The objective of the study was to determine the relative influence of molecular composition and nutrient content of organic matter on the retention of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in boreal streams. We measured in situ rates of carbon uptake in streams following introduction of leachates derived from of alder (Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia), poplar (Populus balsamifera), and white spruce (Picea glauca) trees subject to long-term fertilization with nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P). We measured leachate composition through chemical analysis and optical properties (absorbance and fluorescence).

PBG11 Stream water chemistry for the Shane Creek drainage basin in the Patch-Burn Grazing experiment at Konza Prairie
PBG datasets are associated with a long-term, large-scale study that is addressing the effects of fire-grazing interactions in the context of a Patch-Burn Grazing management system designed to promote grassland heterogeneity. Effects of patch-burn grazing management on plant and animal diversity and the nature and variety of wildlife habitat are being assessed in two replicate management units, each consisting of three pastures (watersheds) designated C03A/C03B/C03C and C3SA/C3SB/C3SC. In each patch-burn grazing unit, one watershed is burned and two that are left unburned in a given year. The burning treatments are rotated annually so that each pasture is burned every third year. Each patch-burn grazing unit is paired with an annually-burned pasture for comparison with traditional grazing systems (C01A and C1SB). All grazing units are stocked with cow/calf pairs from approximately 1 May until 1 Oct at a stocking density equal to 3.2 ha per cow/calf. To examine the impact of patch burning and grazing in all 8 units, we monitor changes in plant species composition, residual biomass, grassland bird populations, insect populations, small mammal populations, soil nutrients, and stream water quality1 (1C3SA/C3SB/C3SC unit only). The KSU Department of Animal Science monitors cattle performance, including weight gain and body condition to assess the economic feasibility of using patch-burn management on a widespread basis. This data set focuses on measuring Nitrate, ammonium, total N, soluble reactive P, total P, and dissolved organic C in four streams draining watersheds with 1 (N01B), 2 (N02B), 4 (N04D), and 20 (N20B) year target burn frequencies.
NWC01 Stream water chemistry for the king's creek drainage basin on Konza Prarie
Nitrate, ammonium, total N, soluble reactive P, total P, and dissolved organic C are monitored in four streams draining watersheds with 1 (N01B), 2 (N02B), 4 (N04D), and 20 (N20B) year target burn frequencies. Bison have grazed these treatments since May 1992. The number of sites sampled has been expanded since 1992 to include sites that may reflect anthropogenic, groundwater, and bison influences on water chemistry. These sites include the south branch of Kings Creek as it leaves watershed N01A (tube), a site immediately below the NO4D weir at Konza Falls that is heavily influenced by groundwater (kzfl), the north fork of Kings Creek draining watersheds without bison (nfkc), the south fork of Kings Creek that drains the watersheds with bison (sfkc), Kings Creek below the USGS gauging station above the first agricultural field (hokn), a small creek that drains into Kings Creek after flowing past the bison handling facilities, two private residences, the site headquarters and an agricultural field (stck), a pristine prairie groundwater site (edlr), and Kings Creek at the bottom of Konza as it leaves the agricultural land in watershed AL (hikx). Early samples were preserved with phenyl mercuric acetate. Future plans to restore agricultural land to prairie may influence downstream nutrient concentrations.
Chemistry of stream water from the Luquillo Mountains
Stream water is collected weekly at the Luquillo Mountain (Luquillo Experimental Forest) sites listed below. These data sets begin as early as 1983; LTER sampling began in 1988. Stream water samples are grab samples taken from the water/air interface at stream channel center on the sampling day (usually Tuesdays). A continuous record of stream stage (height) is recorded by a datalogger at some ongoing stream sampling sites. Average daily streamflows are available from the USGS and at other locations (Hydrology and Meteorology) on this site. All samples are measured for pH and conductivity, and then filtered (pre-combusted Whatman GF/F glass fiber filter) prior to further analysis. From 1983-1994 samples were cooled and returned to the San Juan chemistry laboratory for analysis. During those years, samples for NH4 and NO3 analyses were refrigerated continuously until analysis. Subsamples for NH4 analysis were also preserved with 1 molar H2SO4. From 1994 on, samples for NH4 and NO3were frozen until analysis, were not acidified, and all analyses were conducted at the University of New Hampshire. Stream water Sampling SitesDescriptions of LTER LUQ stream water weekly sample chemistry data from 1988 onwards. Chemical concentrations are recorded as mg/L or mg/L as appropriate.

Chemistry of coastal stream and lagoon water from Puerto Rico - 2021-2024
Water samples were collected from coastal streams and lagoons in Puerto Rico from February 2021 to March 2024 as part of ongoing coastal ecosystem monitoring. These samples were analyzed at the University of New Hampshire Water Quality Analysis Laboratory for comprehensive water chemistry including field parameters, major ions, nutrients, dissolved gases, and trace metals. Sampling sites included Quebrada Fajardo (QFJO) at multiple depths and distances upstream, Quebrada Pitahaya (Qpaya), Laguna Pitahaya (LPYHA), Luquillo streams (LUQA, LUQB), and Laguna Cartagena (LCART). Field measurements included pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, and atmospheric pressure. Laboratory analyses encompassed dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), nutrients (NH4-N, PO4-P, NO3-N), major ions (Cl, SO4, Na, K, Mg, Ca), dissolved gases (CH4, CO2, N2O), and trace metals by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis. The ICP analysis provided enhanced detection capabilities for cations and metals including calcium, iron, manganese, silicon, strontium, sulfur, sodium, magnesium and potassium. Samples were collected as grab samples from the water surface. All samples were filtered through pre-combusted Whatman GF/F for nutrients and organic matter and Whatman WCN Cellulose Nitrate Membranes for metals. Values below detection limits are recorded as 1/2 the detection limit. This dataset provides comprehensive water quality data for Puerto Rican coastal watersheds, with particular focus on stratified sampling in Quebrada Fajardo to understand vertical water column structure and biogeochemical processes in coastal environments influenced by both terrestrial and marine inputs.

Stream, hyporheic, and ground water chemistry of McRae Creek in the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1989 to 1992
Measurements of nitrogen concentrations from grab samples collected from McRae Ck, and from a network of shallow wells located adjacent to the stream. All samples were analyzed for NO3 and NH4. Some samples include additional data such as DON and Total N, and sometimes temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations were measured at the time the water samples were collected for analysis. Data were collected from September 1989 to September 1992 on an irregular basis to sample both baseflow periods and storm events across seasons of the year. Water samples were collected from the stream as grab samples; samples from shallow wells were pumped into a small flask using a vacuum pump and then transferred into a sample bottle.

Baltimore Ecosystem Study: Stream chemistry for Gwynns Falls Upper Tributaries
In the Baltimore urban long-term ecological research (LTER) project, (Baltimore Ecosystem Study, BES) we use the watershed approach to evaluate integrated ecosystem function. The LTER research is centered on the Gwynns Falls watershed, a 17,150 ha catchment that traverses a gradient from the urban core of Baltimore, through older urban residential (1900 - 1950) and suburban (1950- 1980) zones, rapidly suburbanizing areas and a rural/suburban fringe. Our long-term sampling network includes four longitudinal sampling sites along the Gwynns Falls as well as several small (40 - 100 ha) watersheds located within or near to the Gwynns Falls. The longitudinal sites provide data on water and nutrient fluxes in the different land use zones of the watershed (rural/suburban, rapidly suburbanizing, old suburban, urban core) and the small watersheds provide more focused data on specific land use areas (forest, agriculture, rural/suburban, urban). Each of the gaging sites is continuously monitored for discharge and is sampled weekly for chemistry. Additional chemical sampling is carried out in a supplemental set of sites to provide a greater range of land use. Weekly analyses includes nitrate, phosphate, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chloride and sulfate, total suspended solids, turbidity, fecal coliforms, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH. Cations, dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen and metals are measured on selected samples. This dataset presents stream chemistry from the Upper Gwynns Falls tributaries. From April 1999 to August 2000 Johns Hopkins University graduate student Mark Colosimo sampled a group of sites in the Upper Gwynns Falls (Red Run, Horsehead Branch, Scotts Level Branch, Holly Branch). There were two sites in the Red Run drainage. This watershed drains approximately 19 km2 and has been rapidly suburbanizing since the early 1990s. Percent impervious surface was approximately 10% as of 2002. Sampling station Red Run 1 (RR1) was approximately 35 m upstre

Nine intensive sites were monitored in 2010-2011, nine hillslope sites were monitored in 2012-2013, and three river sites were monitored from 2010-2013. An ISCO water sampler was used to collect stream water samples during storm events. Water samples were analyzed at the Coweeta Analytical Lab.
Stream chemistry and stream temperature measurements (1998 - 2009) in Little Santeetlah Creek, Joyce Kilmer Wilderness Area, Graham County, North Carolina
This project began as a Coweeta LTER Schoolyard project in 1998. Students walked Joyce Kilmer Memorial Loop Trail to discuss forest ecology, air quality issues, and take grab samples. Later, students walked the Wolf Laurel - Naked Ground Trail and took an additional 14 grab samples along an elevational gradient in Little Santeetlah Creek. The project was continued by Brian Kloeppel and technicians on a quarterly basis to monitor water quality in a Class I Wilderness Area over a long time period. The last collection was made in February 2009.
