Terrestrial Gradient Litterfall Dry Mass, Coweeta LTER, 1994-2017

This project was started by Haines and Crossley in 1992 to compare leaf litter weights among the five gradient plots (though data from the first collections were not included in this dataset because the original dataset did not represent a complete quarter of collection). Litter is collected from ten 0.92x0.92 m leaf collectors within each of the gradient plots. Litter is collected on a quarterly basis (monthly in the autumn). The litter is then separated by category, dried, weighed, and processed in a Wiley mill for later nutrient analyses. Since the project first started, the collection process has expanded to include non-leaf litter (e.g., lichens, bark, and seeds), fine twigs (0-2.5 cm diameter), and medium twigs (2.5-10 cm diameter).

Measurements of Soil Bulk Density at the Coweeta Terrestrial Gradient Sites

This project is part of a larger examination of site productivity along an elevational gradient. Forest floor weights, %C, and %N were measured at each of the five terrestrial gradient plots located along an elevational gradient at Coweeta Hydrologic Lab, Otto, NC.

Measurements of Soil Water Chemistry at the Coweeta Terrestrial Gradient Sites

This project is part of a larger examination of site productivity along an elevational gradient. Five tension lysimeters were placed at each of two depths, 15 cm and bottom of Bt soil horizon, along two transects running parallel to the contour of each 40 × 20 m terrestrial gradient plot. Soil water was collected weekly and composited at the end of each month. Values are the mean value for each site/month.

Measurements of leaf litter Carbon and Nitrogen from the Coweeta LTER Terrestrial Gradient sites, Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory, Otto, NC

This project was started by Haines and Crossley in 1992 to compare leaf litter weights among the five gradient plots (though data from the first collections were not included in this dataset because the original dataset did not represent a complete quarter of collection). Litter is collected from ten 91.4 x 91.4 cm leaf collectors within each of the gradient plots. Litter is collected on a quarterly basis (monthly in the autumn). The litter is then separated by category, dried, weighed, and processed in a Wiley mill for later carbon and nitrogen analyses. Since the project first started, the collection process has expanded to include non-leaf litter (e.g., lichens, bark, and seeds), fine twigs (0-2.5 cm diameter), and medium twigs (2.5-10 cm diameter).

SBC LTER: Beach: Distribution of terrestrial organic material in intertidal and nearshore marine sediment due to debris flow response efforts

These data describe the distribution and processing of terrestrial organic material observed in the Santa Barbara Channel (Goleta Bay) during the spring of 2018. Specifically, beach, slough, and marine sediments were sampled during and after the debris disposal event that took place between January and February 2018 following the Thomas Fire and the subsequent Montecito Debris Flow. Data are contained in one table, including organic carbon, carbon isotope, lignin phenol, and pyrogenic carbon measurements analyzed from sediment cores collected at different depths and locations in the nearshore region.

Terrestrial Laser Scanner observations of snow depth distribution at Col du Lautaret and Col du Lac Blanc mountain sites

<p>This dataset contains snow depth distribution observations obtained in two high mountain experimental sites, Col du Lac Blanc and Col du Lautaret, both located in French Alps. The snow depth distribution maps were generated using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) for 10 acquisition dates. Observations obtained in Col du Lac Blanc were acquired in the 2014-15 snow season while Col du Lautaret observations were acquired in 2017-18 snow season. The snow depth maps have a grid cell size of 1x1m. The two study sites have extensions comprised between 17 and 31 ha with elevations ranging from 2000-2100 m a.s.l. (Col du Lautaret)and 2600-2800 m a.s.l. (Col du Lac Blanc)and show a patchy distribution of bare soil and alpine grass. The dataset allows a better understanding of snow related processes in mountain areas.</p>
