Delta-X: Particulate Organic Carbon Concentration from Water Samples, MRD, LA, 2021
This dataset provides measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations made on water samples collected during 2021 in surface waters of the Atchafalaya River and Terrebonne Basins, portions of the Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana. Water samples were collected at ~0.5 m depth from surface during the spring (2021-03-25 to 2021-04-22) and fall (2021-08-14 to 2021-09-24) field efforts. Field sampling was paused on August 25 and resumed on September 13 due to the landfall of Hurricane Ida on 2021-08-26 approximately 70 km east of the study sites. Water quality changes in this dataset caused by the hurricane are expected to be minimal. Samples were collected in multiple channels of varying width (from a few meters to >100 m) near Delta-X intensive study sites, in open bays and lakes, and a few locations in the nearshore Gulf of Mexico. For each sample, the water sample volume was filtered (in triplicate) through 25-mm glass microfiber (GF/F) filters to retain the suspended particles. The amount of organic carbon retained on each filter was measured using an elemental carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) analyzer and normalized by the volume of sample water filtered. The reported values in this dataset include the mean and standard deviation of POC measurements from three replicate samples collected at each site.
LBA-ECO ND-11 Organic Carbon Watershed Exports, Mato Grosso, Brazil: 2003-2004
Resolving the carbon (C) balance in the Amazonian forest depends on an improved quantification of production and losses of particulate C from forested landscapes via stream export. The main goal of this work was to quantify litterfall, the lateral movement of litter, and the export of coarse organic particulate matter (>2 mm) in four small watersheds (1-2 ha) under native forest in southern Amazonia near Juruena, Mato Grosso, Brazil (10°25 S, 58°46 W). Mean litterfall production was 11.8 Mg ha-1 y-1 (5.7 Mg C ha-1 y-1). Litterfall showed strong seasonality, with the highest deposition in the driest months of the year. About two times more C per month was deposited on the forest floor during the 6-mo dry season (0.65 Mg C ha-1 mo-1) compared to the rainy season (0.3 Mg C ha-1 mo-1). The measured C concentration of the litterfall samples was greater in the dry season than in the rainy season (49% vs. 46%, P < 0.05). The lateral movement of litter increased from the plateau (upper landscape position) towards the riparian zone. However, the trend in C concentration of laterally transported litter samples was the opposite, being highest on the plateau (44%) and lowest in the riparian zone (42%) (P < 0.05). Stream-water exports of particulate C were positively correlated with streamflow, increasing in the rainiest months. The export of particulate C in streamflow was found to be very small (less than 1%) in relation to the amount of litterfall produced.
Post-fire Recovery of Soil Organic Layer Carbon in Canadian Boreal Forests, 2015-2018
This dataset provides site moisture, soil organic layer thickness, soil organic carbon, nonvascular plant functional group, stand dominance, ecozone, time-after-fire, jack pine proportion, and deciduous proportion for 511 forested plots spanning ~140,000 km2 across two ecozones of the Northwest Territories, Canada (NWT). The plots were established during 2015-2018 across 41 wildfire scars and unburned areas (no burn history prior to 1965), with 317 plots in the Plains and 194 plots in the Shield regions. At each plot, two adjacent 30-m transects were established 2 m apart, running north from the plot origin. Soil organic layer (SOL) depth (cm) was measured every 3 m and the mean was taken from the 10 measurements to calculate a plot-level SOL thickness. Three soil organic layer profiles were destructively sampled at 0, 12, and 24 m using a corer that was custom designed for NWT soils. Within the transects, all stems taller than 1.37 m were identified to species to calculate tree density (stems / m2). Nonvascular plant percent cover was identified to functional group at five, 1-m2 quadrats spaced 6 m apart along the belt transect. A subset of 2,067 of 5,137 total increments from 1,803 profiles from 421 plots were analyzed for total percent C using a CHN analyzer. Time-after-fire was established using fire history records. For older plots where no known fire history is recorded, tree age was used. Data are for the period 2015-06-11 to 2018-08-24 and are provided in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
Soil Organic Carbon Stock Estimates with Uncertainty across Latin America
This dataset provides 5 x 5 km gridded estimates of soil organic carbon (SOC) across Latin America that were derived from existing point soil characterization data and compiled environmental prediction factors for SOC. This dataset is representative for the period between 1980 to 2000s corresponding with the highest density of observations available in the WoSIS system and the covariates used as prediction factors for soil organic carbon across Latin America. SOC stocks (kg/m2) were estimated for the SOC and bulk density point measurements and a spatially explicit measure of the SOC estimation error was also calculated. A modeling ensemble, using a linear combination of five statistical methods (regression Kriging, random forest, kernel weighted nearest neighbors, partial least squared regression and support vector machines) was applied to the SOC stock data at (1) country-specific and (2) regional scales to develop gridded SOC estimates (kg/m2) for all of Latin America. Uncertainty estimates are provided for the two model predictions based on independent model residuals and their full conditional response to the SOC prediction factors.
BOREAS TGB-03 Dissolved Organic Carbon Data from the NSA
The BOREAS TGB-03 team collected Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) data during the summer of 1994 in the Northern Study Area. The purpose of this work was to establish the major sources, sinks and fluxes of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the Northern Study Area. Data on DOC concentrations taken from samples representing the major sources and sinks were to be combined with hydrologic measurements (e.g. precipitation, stream flow etc.) to calculate DOC fluxes.
Global Organic Soil Carbon and Nitrogen (Zinke et al.)
This package contains worldwide soil carbon and nitrogen data for more than 3,500 soil profiles. The database was begun about 40 years ago with the collection and analyses by Zinke of soil samples from California. Additional data came from soil surveys of California, Italy and Greece, Iran, Thailand, Vietnam, various tropical Amazonian areas, U.S. forest soils,and from the soil survey literature. The main samples for laboratory analyses were collected at uniform soil depth increments and included bulk density determinations, but samples reported in the literature did not always have this uniformity. For the latter group of samples, only profiles that were samples to a meter depth or to actual depth were used; if bulk densities were not reported, then estimates were made from regressions based on organic carbon content of the soil samples associated with the profile. Methods used for analytical carbon determinations were dry combustion, 'wet combustion', or loss on ignition with adjustments made to the values obtained with the last two methods. Nitrogen was determined by the Kjeldahl method on the soil fine earth fraction and reported as total organic nitrogen. The data can be used to estimate the size of the soil's organic carbon and nitrogen pools at equilibrium with natural soil-forming factors. Most of the data are from profiles associated with natural vegetation so they constitute a baseline for evaluation of the effects that disturbance or modification to natural vegetation has on soil carbon equilibrium at either a global or regional scale. The data can also be used for understanding the range and viability of soil carbon and nitrogen pools for specific ecosystems or climatic regimes.
