Mohonk Preserve Amphibian and Water Quality Monitoring Dataset at 11 Vernal Pools from 1931-Present
"The Mohonk Preserve's Daniel Smiley Research Center has been monitoring species occupancy, reproductive success, and water quality of 11 vernal pools (Ski Loop, Bonticou, Terrace, Long Woodland Pool, Long Woodland Swamp, Oakwood, Sleepy Hollow, Hermits, North Mud Pond, Canaan, and Talus) on the Preserve each spring from April 1931 to May 2019 (present). This project aims to document changes in the reproductive behavior and phenology of amphibians and allow research access to historical, longitudinal records. The dataset is a paired record of amphibian occurence with environmental indicators spanning nearly 90 years of data collection. The dataset includes environmental conditions for the 730 sampling events associated with the species occurences with complete coverage air temperature and precipitation records and partial coverage for a variety of other weather and water quality measures. Species occurence data collection has included species identification and counts of live and dead adults, mated pairs, spermatophores, egg masses, juveniles, and tadpoles counts as well as a record of the level of frog calling. Weather conditions including precipitation, sky and wind codes; and water quality measurements including water temperature, pH, and depth. Collection of data was sporadic from 1931 - 1991 but has been collected consistently from 1991 to present. We also began monitoring dissolved oxygen, nitrate concentrations, and conductivity of the vernal pools using a YSI Sonde Professional Plus Instrument and turbidity using a turbidity tube in February 2018. The data collection is ongoing, as are digitization efforts, and the data package will receive periodic updates."
Methane ebullition and diffusion rates, turbulence, water temperature, and water depth data from Falling Creek Reservoir (Virginia, USA) in the ice-free period during 2016-2019
This dataset includes weekly and subweekly methane ebullition and diffusion rates collected from March through November in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 in Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR), a drinking water reservoir owned and managed by the Western Virginia Water Authority and located in Vinton, Virginia, USA. In 2016, ebullition rates were measured at four near-shore sites along a longitudinal gradient in FCR that included four replicate locations within each site, for a total of 16 sites in the reservoir. In 2017, methane emission rates and five different potential environmental driver variables (water temperature, wind speed, pressure, turbulence, primary production) were measured at five longitudinal transects that included four replicate sites per transect, for a total of 20 sites in the reservoir. In 2018, ebullition was measured at the same five longitudinal transects but with two replicate sites per transect, for a total of 10 sites. In 2019, ebullition was only measured at the furthest upstream transect monitored in 2017-2018, with four replicate sites within that transect. The dataset consists of four tables: 1) weekly methane ebullition and diffusion rates and the water depths at each of the 24 unique monitoring sites; 2) 10-minute resolution sediment-water interface and surface water temperatures from 16 sites in 2017; 3) weekly sediment-water interface and surface turbulence at the four transects in 2017; and 4) geographical coordinates of each of the 24 sites in the reservoir.
Summer 2016 hydrology and water chemistry data at Second Creek, a sulfate-impacted riparian wetland in northeast Minnesota
Hydrological and water chemistry data were collected at Second Creek, a riparian wetland study site near Aurora, MN, to understand sulfur and methane processes. Data were collected over the summer of 2016. Hydrological data were collected using temperature probes and pressure transducers installed in surface water gauges and shallow piezometers. Water chemistry was analyzed in surface water samples and porewater samples collected with “peepers” (passive diffusive samplers).

Daily water temperature and dissolved oxygen data in summer months from 2011 to 2015 for Lake Lillinonah in Northeastern North America
This dataset was used in the analysis described in the manuscript by Macuch, C. & J. Klug. 2020. High-Frequency Temperature and Oxygen Data Reveal the Potential for Stressful Fish Conditions in a Southern New England Impoundment. Northeastern Naturalist 27(3): 520-533. We include high-frequency dissolved oxygen and water temperature data from Lake Lillinonah in Northeastern North America. These data were collected using in situ, automated monitoring sensors deployed each year into the lake in the spring or early summer months. Data were collected from 07 July 2011 through 14 October 2015. These data were used to assess conditions in the lake as they relate to specific stress thresholds for Northern Pike and Largemouth Bass. We found that summer water temperature was nearly always in an acceptable range for Largemouth Bass growth but was frequently in the stressful range for Northern Pike growth. Dissolved oxygen data show consistent hypoxia at the bottom of the lake during some summers, reducing the potential thermal refuge.

Site environmental, climate, water levels and temperatures, vegetation cover, and GIS change detection for assessing permafrost change in fens on the Tanana Flats, central Alaska
This data package provides data used to assess the roles of climate extremes, ecological succession, and hydrology in repeated permafrost aggradation and degradation in fens on the Tanana Flats, central Alaska. The package provides data on site environmental information, Fairbanks climate, vegetation cover, water levels and temperatures, as well as GIS files for fen change detection. The Site data include information on observers, locations, geomorphology, hydrology, soils, vegetation, and disturbance. The table has numerous fields that uses coding for class characteristics and these codes are described in the metadata as well as compiled in the ELS_Arctic_Boreal_Site_Soil_Veg_Code_Sheet_2020.docx. Alaska Climate records for Fairbanks (UAF Experiment Station) from 1904 to 2019 were acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/). Additional data were obtained for the Nenana station (about 70 km southwest of Fairbanks), to fill in small data gaps (particularly precipitation/snow depth ruler measurements) in the Fairbanks record. We attributed the data with fields for summer (May-September) and winter periods (November-March) and hydrologic year (October-September) and calculated mean air temperature, precipitation, and snow depth by seasonal period (average of daily values) and year. The broad summer and winter periods were of interest because warmer and wetter summers increase soil heat input and warmer and snowier winters reduce soil heat loss. Fen hydrology data include information on fen water level/pressure and temperatures collected every two hours at seven sites within fens from 2011 to 2014. Vegetation composition and cover of fens, scrub, and forests was sampled to assess effects of thermokarst on vegetation change. Plant cover was determined by point-sampling at 100 points (including repetitive “hits” for all layers) distributed along 5 equally spaced rows (4-m long, 20 points per row) across the 10-m l
UCSB SONGS Mitigation Monitoring: Wetland Survey - Water Quality
These data describe measurements of water characteristics (temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen) collected as part of the SONGS San Dieguito Wetland Restoration mitigation monitoring program designed to evaluate compliance of the restoration project with conditions of the SONGS permit. Monitoring began in 2012 in the San Dieguito Wetlands and Tijuana Estuary in San Diego County, CA, Carpinteria Salt Marsh in Santa Barbara County, CA, and Mugu Lagoon in Ventura County, CA. Beginning in 2024, Tijuana Estuary was replaced with Los Penasquitos Lagoon in San Diego County, CA. Measurements of water depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were recorded daily in fifteen minute intervals at two sampling stations (primary and backup) at the San Dieguito Wetland, Carpinteria Salt Marsh, and Mugu Lagoon, and one sampling station (primary) at the Tijuana Estuary (2012-2023) and Los Penasquitos Lagoon (2024-present).
Marcell Experimental Forest biweekly surface water and monthly porewater chemistry at Bog Lake Peatland, 2007 - ongoing
This data set reports the chemistry of surface and porewater water from the Bog Lake peatland in the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Itasca County, Minnesota, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. Surface water has been collected about every other week since 2007 from a pool of water and sampling is ongoing. Once covered with ice, water was typically sampled once a month. Porewaters at five depths (0 to 2 m depths) have been collected about monthly from three different nest of piezometers since 2013, though never when samplers were frozen. Samples are measured for pH, specific conductivity, anions (chloride, sulfate), cations (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, aluminum, iron, manganese, strontium), silicon, nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, soluble reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, total phosphorus), and total organic carbon.
LAGOS-NE-GIS v1.0: A module for LAGOS-NE, a multi-scaled geospatial and temporal database of lake ecological context and water quality for thousands of U.S. Lakes: 2013-1925
This data package, LAGOS-NE-GIS v1.0, is 1 of 5 data packages associated with the LAGOS-NE database-- the LAke multi-scaled GeOSpatial and temporal database. Three of the data packages each contain different types of data for 51,101 lakes and reservoirs larger than 4 ha in 17 lake-rich U.S. states to support research on thousands of lakes. These three package are: (1) LAGOS-NE-LOCUS v1.01: lake location and physical characteristics for all lakes. (2) LAGOS-NE-GEO v1.05: ecological context (i.e., the land use, geologic, climatic, and hydrologic setting of lakes) for all lakes. These geospatial data were created by processing national-scale and publicly-accessible datasets to quantify numerous metrics at multiple spatial resolutions. And, (3) LAGOS-NE-LIMNO v1.087.1: in-situ measurements of lake water quality from the past three decades for approximately 2,600-12,000 lakes, depending on the variable. This module was created by harmonizing 87 water quality datasets from federal, state, tribal, and non-profit agencies, university researchers, and citizen scientists. The other two data packages contain supporting data for the LAGOS-NE database: (4) LAGOS-NE-GIS v1.0: the GIS data layers for lakes, wetlands, and streams, as well as the spatial resolutions that were used to create the LAGOS-NE-GEO module. (5) LAGOS-NE-RAWDATA: the original 87 datasets of lake water quality prior to processing, the R code that converts the original data formats into LAGOS-NE data format, and the log file from this procedure to create LAGOS-NE. This latter data package supports the reproducibility of LAGOS-NE-LIMNO. The LAGOS-NE GIS v1.0 module includes GIS datasets for: lake polygons and their hydrologic classification; wetland polygons and their classification; streams as a line coverage and their classification by stream order; the zones used for this study (state and county; hydrologic units [at the 4, 8 and 12 scales]); and, lake watersheds (IWS). We also include boundaries of U.S. stat
Seasonal relationships between soil respiration and water-extractable carbon as influenced by soil temperature and moisture in forest soils of the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1992-1993
The overall objective of this study is to model trace gas emissions from forest soils of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This is to be accomplished by studying trace gas emissions and related variable at a set of 20 permanent plots at the HJA.
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.
