Depth profiles of water column dissolved methane, density and biomass of zooplankton (specifically, Chaoborus spp.), and measurements of methane extracted from Chaoborus spp. during two sampling campaigns in 2016
Depth profiles of water column dissolved methane (CH4), density and biomass of zooplankton (specifically, Chaoborus spp.), and measurements of methane extracted from Chaoborus spp. were collected from Beaverdam Reservoir, Vinton, VA, USA during two, 24-hr intensive sampling campaigns in fall 2016 (3-4 August and 16-17 September). The sampling campaign was designed to test the hypothesis that Chaoborus spp. can transport CH4 from the hypolimnion to the epilimnion of lakes and reservoirs as they migrate to the surface waters from the benthos at night in search of zooplankton prey, and results of the project are published in Carey et al. 2018. During both sampling events, depth profiles of water column methane and Chaoborus spp. density were collected at noon, dusk, midnight, 2 a.m., dawn, and noon the following day at a 1 m resolution. In addition, during the September sampling event depth profiles were collected 1 hour prior to and after dusk. Methane gas was extracted from live Chaoborus individuals at every depth and time point immediately after collection via gentle centrifugation in distilled water following McGinnis et al. 2017.

Profiles of 0-50 cm soil CO2 and N2O concentrations collected in the CPCRW from 1998-2002
This table contains concentrations (ppmv) of CO2 and N2O measured at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm depths below the soil surface in closed-canopy black spruce and mixed hardwood sites (@ 3 replicate sites) in the Caribou Poker Creeks Research Watershed. Samples were taken at weekly or bi-weekly intervals from two profiles in each site during growing seasons from June 1, 1999 through September 17, 2002. This period brackets the Frostfire burn of July 1999; because the fire missed the planned burn sites in mixed hardwoods, the mixed hardwood plots were moved (reflected in the site numbering in the database).
Eight Mile Lake Research Watershed, Thaw Gradient: Growing season soil profile CO2 production at 10, 20, 30, and 40 cm, 2005-2007.
This dataset contains CO2 concentrations, diffusion coefficient, and soil CO2 fluxes at each depth interval and soil CO2 production at each replicate. The data were collected during the growing season as well as shoulder seasons.
Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Soil Profile Maps and Horizon Thicknesses on Watershed 5, 1983-1998
We sampled soils prior to the whole-tree harvest of watershed 5 at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in 1983, and again in 1986, 1991, and 1998, using the quantitative soil pit method. Here we report horizon thicknesses and present hand drawn maps of the sides of a subset of the 239 sampling pits excavated over the four sampling years. Note that U.S. standard soil horizon nomenclature changed between 1983 and 1986. In nearly all cases, the 1983 horizon designations have the following equivalencies: A2 = E, Bhir = Bs, Bir = Bs1, B23 and B23+ = Bs2. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. An analysis of these data has been published in: Johnson, C.E., A.H. Johnson, T.G. Huntington, and T.G. Siccama. 1991. Whole-tree clear-cutting effects on soil horizons and organic-matter pools.

Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Mirror Lake Thermal Profiles 1981 - 2011
Numerous studies have been conducted on Mirror Lake since the mid-1960s, including extensive physical, chemical, biological, and paleoecological research (Likens 1985). This data set includes thermal profiles consisting of temperatures measured at discrete depths. Measurements were made using a hand-held instrument from a boat at an anchored buoy station located at the deepest part (11 m at full pool) of Mirror Lake during the open water (ice-free) season. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
Soil water and chloride concentration profiles in 20 playas at the Jornada Basin LTER site in 2014
This data package contains soil water and chloride content data from cores collected in 20 playas in the Jornada Basin of southern New Mexico, USA. The objectives of this work were to assess the rates and controls of groundwater recharge through playas in the Southwestern USA. The twenty playas were cored to 5 meter depth and we used the chloride mass balance (CMB) approach to empirically estimate groundwater recharge beneath playa surfaces. The measured variables are gravimetric soil moisture (kg water/kg soil), soil bulk density (kg/m3), volumetric water content (m3/m3), and porewater chloride (mg/L). All data were taken from playa ecosystems. All measurements were taken in June 2014. This study is complete. For further information, refer to: McKenna, Owen P., and Osvaldo E. Sala.

Weekly CTD profile measurements of conductivity, specific conductance, temperature, depth, density, and salinity from Lake Hoare, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica during the 2012-2013 austral summer
As part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project, we investigated relationships between wind conditions and barotropic seiches within Lake Hoare, located in Taylor Valley, Antarctica, during the 2012-2013 austral summer. Temporal changes in the water column were measured using a rugged, handheld, CastAway CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth probe, manufactured by SonTek), deployed through the Lake Hoare Limno Hole (note, this is a separate instrument from the SeaBird CTD used as part of the MCM LTER core limnological monitoring program). The CastAway CTD directly measures temperature, electrical conductivity, and pressure at 5 Hz as it free-falls through the water column at a rate of approximately 1 m s-1 on the downward cast and approximately 0.3 m s-1 on the upward cast. The device calculates salinity and density using the International Equation of State for Seawater, called EOS-80. This data package provides 27 profiles of depth, temperature, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, and density collected between November 25, 2012 and January 21, 2013. In general, three profiles were collected over a ten-minute-period every seven days for 57 days. Five profiles were collected prior to the arrival of spring melt, four profiles were collected during the arrival of spring melt on December 7, 2012, and 18 profiles were collected after the arrival of spring melt continuing into late summer.
McMurdo Dry Valleys Temperature and Profiles (YSI) from 1993-2000
As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a series of Taylor Valley lakes have been monitored for dissolved oxygen and temperature profiles. A YSI dissolved oxygen meter was used to record these measurements in the perennial ice-covered lakes of Taylor Valley. The measurements were collected from 1993 to 2000. Other methodologies to monitor temperatures and dissolved oxygen in lakes are being used.
2012-2013 Sub-ice Current Velocities Recorded with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Between 26 November 2012 and 22 January 2013, a SonTek Argonaut-XR 1.5 MHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) was fixed at the bottom of the Limno Sampling Hole in Lake Hoare, looking downward through the water column. Every 30 seconds, the ADCP measured horizontal and vertical current velocities in six, 50-cm-thick cells between 0.5 and 3.5 m below the lake ice. The observation interval became deeper over time as the ADCP platform melted into the lake ice and the lake ice thinned. Data collected from 26 to 30 November represent pre-discharge data when wind and solar radiation were the only forces acting on the lake. Data from 30 November to 8 December transition from pre-discharge to spring freshet conditions on 6 December. Spring freshet was the most dynamic period observed with highest velocities recorded. Data from 8 to 13 December transitioned from the end of spring freshet on 10 December to summer diurnal discharge conditions. Data from the remaining datasets, 13 to 22 December, 22 to 29 December, 29 December to 6 January, 6 to 13 January, and 13 to 22 January, reflect conditions during summer diurnal stream discharge, especially data from 29 December to 6 January. From these observations, solar radiation, wind, glacial runoff during spring
Sediment profiles of dissolved oxygen and nitrous oxide along with temperature and sediment water content, Rowley River, Rowley, MA
Environmental pulses, or sudden, marked changes to the conditions within an ecosystem, can be important drivers of resource availability in many systems. In this study, we investigated the effect of tidal pulsing on the fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas, from a marine intertidal mudflat on the north shore of Massachusetts, USA. We found these tidal flat sediments to be a sink of N2O at low tide with an average uptake rate of ??6.7 6 2 lmol??m??2??h??1. Further, this N2O sink increased the longer sediments were tidally exposed. These field measurements, in conjunction with laboratory nutrient additions, revealed that this flux appears to be driven primarily by sediment denitrification. Additionally, N2O uptake was most responsive to dissolved inorganic nitrogen with phosphorus (DINþDIP) addition, suggesting that the N2O consumption process may be P limited. Furthermore, nutrient addition experiments suggest that dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) releases N2O at the highest levels of nitrate fertilization. Our findings indicate that tidal flats are important sinks of N2O, potentially capable of offsetting the release of this potent greenhouse gas by other, nearby ecosystems.
SBC LTER: Ocean: Diel nearshore water profiles (CTD and chemistry) during stratified conditions
These data describe diel fluctuations in nutrient and physical measurements observed in the nearshore region of the Santa Barbara Channel (Goleta Bay) during the summer of 2018. Sampling took place over three, 36-hour campaigns in August 2018 and encompasses neap, midway, and spring tide conditions. Data are contained in two tables: 1) a time series of physical measurements (temperature, salinity, etc.) measured over time at three different depths, 2) a time series of chemical and biological measurements (ammonium, chlorophyll a, etc.) measured over time at three different depths.
Investigating Host Feeding Strategy as a Determinant of Insect Gut Microbial Community Profile at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
Diverse microbial communities live in the gut regions of animals. The precise ecological and evolutionary circumstances that govern relationships between hosts and their gut communities is unclear. In this study, we hypothesize that host feeding strategy shapes the microbial communities within the gut systems of insects. We collected five insect species from the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge that exhibited herbivorous, detritovorous and carnivorous diets. Using gut samples from the insects we measured if and how microbial communities are shaped based on any effect host feeding strategy might have. Preliminary analysis of bacterial communities using 16S rDNA sequences has thus far revealed that the sampled community profiles initially appear to show signs of being determined by host feeding type. Analysis has also shown that sequences from the phyla Firmicutes and Proteobacteria appear to contribute most significantly to the differences between communities of different feeding types. We expect that upon further data recovery, the extent of the effect host feeding type has on the communities will be clarified. Additionally we intend to incorporate bacterial community data from previous studies to further broaden our sample set. We expect our results to further define the ecological circumstances that shape the microbial populations within living systems.

Lead 210 profiles in sediment cores in South Bay, Virginia
This dataset includes 210Pb (dpm g) and bulk carbon (mg/ml) data from four 20-cm sediment cores collected in South Bay, Virginia. Two of the cores were collected in 2011, one from within the restored Zostera marina (eelgrass) meadow and one from a nearby bare site. The other two cores were collected in 2014 from a different meadow site and a different bare site. Both meadow cores were collected within original restoration seed plots. The SB-5 bare core was collected north of the restored meadow. The 2-bare core was collected west of the meadow, near Man and Boy Channel. 210Pb and carbon profiles from the meadow sites were used to establish meadow carbon accumulation rates in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Bare areas in this system appear to be non-depositional. Excess 210Pb was not observed in the profiles from the two bare cores.
