Greenhouse gas partial pressure (CO2, CH4, N2O) and environmental variables (physical, chemical, and biological) measured in urban ponds of Barcelona during summer and winter (2023-2024)
This dataset provides information on the partial pressure of greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O) measured in 41 artificial urban ponds—28 naturalized and 13 non-naturalized—using the headspace technique. Additionally, GPS coordinates, as well as physical, chemical, and biological variables for each pond, are included. Data were collected during the summer and winter seasons, during daytime. Furthermore, a subset of 16 ponds (8 naturalized and 8 non-naturalized) was also sampled at night in both seasons. All samples were taken from the water surface.
Baltimore Ecosystem Study: Physical, chemical and biological properties of forest and home lawn soils
Abstract: One-meter soil cores were taken to evaluate soil texture, bulk density, carbon and nitrogen pools, microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen content, microbial respiration, potential net nitrogen mineralization, potential net nitrification and inorganic nitrogen pools in 32 residential home lawns that differed by previous land use and age, but had similar soil types. These were compared to soils from 8 forested reference sites. Purpose: Soil cores were obtained from residential and forest sites in the Baltimore, MD USA metropolitan area. The residential sites were mostly within the Gwynns Falls Watershed (-76.012008W, -77.314183E, 39.724847N, 38.708367S and approximately 17 km2) Lawns on residential sites were dominated by a variety of cool season turfgrasses. Forest soil cores were taken from permanent forest plots of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) LTER (Groffman et al. 2006). These remnant forests are over 100 years old with soils that were comparable in type and texture to those underlying the residential study sites. Soils from all sites were from the Manor series (coarse-loamy, micaceous, mesic Typic Dystrudepts), which are well-drained upland soils with loamy textures and bedrock at 5 to 10 feet below the soil surface. To aid the site selection process we used neighborhoods in the Baltimore City metropolitan area that have been mapped using HERCULES, a high resolution land cover classification system designed to assist in the study of human-ecological systems (Cadenasso et al. 2007). Using HERCULES and additional data sources, we identified residential sites that were similar except for single factors that we hypothesized to be important predictors of ecosystem dynamics. These factors included land use history (agriculture and forest, n = 10 and n = 22), housing density (low and medium/high, n = 9 and n = 23), and housing age (4 to 58 yrs old, n = 32). Housing age was acquired from the Maryland Property View database. Prior land use was determined b
Soil Lake Inundation Moat Experiment (SLIME): Physical, chemical, and biological measurements from planktonic water columns, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2018-2020)
The Soil Lake Inundation Moat Experiment (SLIME) was developed by the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research (MCM LTER) project to investigate the ecological function of lake moats in Antarctica. These moats form during the austral summer when the margins of permanently ice-covered, closed-basin lakes melt, creating open-water zones, or ‘moats,’ between the shoreline and the thick (3-5 m) perennial ice cover. To study these habitats, sampling transects were established on the north and south shores of Lake Fryxell and the East Lobe of Lake Bonney. This data package includes three seasons of physical, chemical, and biological measurements from the planktonic water columns of these lakes, collected from SLIME transects between January 2018 and January 2020. Parameters include water temperature, conductivity, ion and nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll-a concentrations, as well as fluorescence and photochemical efficiencies for major algal classes. NCBI accession numbers are also provided for the microbial sequence data associated with each sample.
Soil biological, chemical and physical parameters and herbage yield in a field experiment with organic and inorganic fertilizers on peat grassland in the Netherlands
<p>To evaluate the performance of organic and inorganic fertilizers for regeneration of ecosystem services in peat grasslands with biodiversity goals, we carried out a field experiment in the western peat district in the Netherlands. The fertilizers tested represent the current practice and potential alternatives for regenerative grassland management on drained peat.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Experimental setup</strong></p> <p>The field experiment (2013 – 2015) was conducted on a permanent grassland on peat soil (Terric Histosol; SOM 56 g 100 g<sup>−1</sup> and pH<sub>KCl</sub> of 4.5 in 0-10 cm) at the experimental dairy farm at Zegveld (the Netherlands). In March 2013, a randomized block experiment (six blocks) was laid out with six fertilizer treatments and a control treatment (no fertilizer: “Contr”). The fertilizer used were: conventional dairy cattle slurry manure (“Slurry”), mature compost of kitchen and garden waste (“Comp”), dairy cattle farmyard manure (“FYM”), solid fraction of the cattle slurry manure (“SFrac”, obtained by pressurized filtration), inorganic N fertilizer (“IF”; calcium ammonium nitrate, 27% N) and a combination of inorganic N fertilizer and sawdust (“IF+SD”). Plot size was 4 × 10 m; for the Slurry treatment plots were 5.2 × 10 m. Slurry was applied by slit injection, the other fertilizers were applied by hand. Target application rate was 120 kg total N ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>, divided in two applications per year (February/March and May). This is relatively low for conventional grasslands but usual for grasslands with biodiversity goals (Kleijn et al., 2004). The amount of C<sub>total</sub> applied in Comp was taken for the rate of sawdust to be applied. All plots were fertilized with 200 kg K<sub>2</sub>O ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> (applications in March and May) (Commissie Bemesting Grasland en Voedergewassen, 2019). Fertilizer application quantities and organic matter and nutrient inputs are provided in Fertilizer_intput.csv (dataset).</p> <p>The grassland had an history of conventional management with mainly cutting, winter grazing with sheep and a normal fertilization regime with both slurry manure and inorganic fertilizer. The normal cutting and grazing regime was continued in the first two years of the experiment; during 2015, the monitoring year, the plots were not grazed and only cut for herbage measurements.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Measurements</strong></p> <p>From April to October 2015, soil and aboveground measurements were carried out. Most soil parameters were measured in October. Earthworms and insect larvae are an important food source for meadow birds during the pre-breeding period in spring (Galbraith, 1989) and were therefore sampled in April. Soil moisture and penetration resistance were measured both in April and October.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Soil biological parameters</em></p> <p>Earthworms and insect larvae were sampled in the top soil layer in two soil cubes (20 × 20 × 20 cm) per plot. Earthworms were hand-sorted, counted, weighed and fixed in alcohol prior to identification. Both adults and juveniles were identified to species (Sims and Gerard, 1985; Stöp-Bowitz, 1969) and classified into functional groups (Bouché, 1977). Crane flies (Tipulidae; leatherjackets) or click beetles (Elateridae; wireworms) larvae were counted.</p> <p>Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) were measured in October. PLFA were extracted from 4 g of fresh soil (Palojärvi, 2006), and analyzed by gas chromatography (Hewlett-Packard, USA). PLFA i15:0, a15:0, 15:0, i16:0, 16:1ω9, i17:0, a17:0, cy17:0, 18:1ω7 and cy19:0 were chosen to represent bacteria and PLFA 18:2ω6 was used as a marker of saprotrophic fungi (Hedlund, 2002). The neutral lipid fatty acid (NLFA) 16:1ω5 occurs in storage lipids of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and was used as marker of AMF (Vestberg et al., 2012). PLFA i15:0, a15:0, i16:0, i17:0 and a17:0 were used as a measure of Gram-positive bacteria, and cy17:0 and cy19:0 for Gram-negative bacteria. PLFA 10Me16:0, 10Me17:0 and 10Me18:0 represented actinomycetes.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Soil chemical parameters</em></p> <p>A soil sample from the 0−10 cm layer (c. 50 randomly taken soil cores) per experimental plot was collected in October (auger diameter 2.3 cm; Eijkelkamp grass plot sampler, Giesbeek, the Netherlands), was sieved (1 cm mesh size) and homogenized. One sub-sample was taken for analysis of hot water extractable carbon (HWC) according to Ghani et al. (2003) and one for chemical analysis. Prior to analysis of soil acidity (pH<sub>KCl</sub>), soil organic matter (SOM), total carbon (C<sub>total</sub>), total nitrogen (N<sub>total</sub>), total phosphorus (P<sub>total</sub>) and ammonium-lactate extractable P (P<sub>AL</sub>) by Eurofins Agro (Wageningen, the Netherlands), the sub sample was dried at 40°C. Soil pH<sub>KCl</sub> was measured according to NEN-ISO 10390 2005. SOM was determined by loss-on-ignition (NEN 5754 2005). C<sub>total</sub> was measured by incineration at 1150°C, and determination of the CO<sub>2</sub> produced by an infrared detector (LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, Mich., USA). For N<sub>total</sub>, evolved gasses after incineration were reduced to N<sub>2</sub> and measured with a thermal-conductivity detector (LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, Mich., USA). P<sub>total</sub> was analysed with Fleishmann acid (Houba et al., 1997). P<sub>AL</sub> is used to assess the P supply capacity of grassland soils (Reijneveld et al., 2014) and was determined according to Egnér et al. (1960) (NEN 5793).</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Soil physical parameters</em></p> <p>Soil moisture was determined in April and October in a homogenized 0−10 cm soil sample after drying at 105°C for 24 hrs. Moisture content was expressed as percentage of fresh soil weight.</p> <p>Penetration resistance was measured (April and October) with a penetrologger (Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands; cone of 2.0 cm<sup>2</sup> penetration surface and 60° apex angle. Penetration resistance was expressed as an average of 7 penetrations per plot and per soil layer of 0−10, 10−20, and 20−30 cm.</p> <p>Soil structure and rooting density were assessed in October in the 0−10 cm and 10−25 cm layers. The percentage of crumbs, sub-angular blocky elements and angular blocky elements was estimated by one experienced person as described by Peerlkamp (1959) and Shepherd (2000), Root density was estimated by scoring visible roots (score 1–10; 1 for no roots and 10 for above average).</p> <p>Water infiltration rate was measured in October at three spots per experimental plot in 5 of the 6 blocks (35 plots). A PVC pipe (15 cm high, 15 cm diameter) was pushed into the soil to a depth of 10 cm. 500 ml water was poured into each pipe and the infiltration time was recorded. If the infiltration time exceeded 15 min, the remaining water volume was estimated to calculate the infiltration rate (mm min<sup>−1</sup>).</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Grass yield and botanical composition</em></p> <p>Grass dry matter (DM) and N yield were determined during 2015 with a Haldrup plot harvester (J. Haldrup a/s, Løgstør, Denmark). The four harvest dates were May 15, June 29, August 19 and September 30. Fresh biomass, DM content (70°C for 24 hrs) and total N content (Kjeldahl) were determined for each harvest. Herbage DM yield (Mg DM ha<sup>−1</sup>) and herbage N yield (kg N ha<sup>−1</sup>) were calculated. Apparent N recovery (ANR; kg N.kg N<sup>−1</sup>) was calculated as (N yield<sub>(fertilized)</sub> – N yield<sub>(non-fertilized)</sub>)/(N fertilization rate) (Vellinga and André, 1999).</p> <p>In June 2015, botanical composition was measured by visually estimating the relative soil cover of the sward and the proportion of each species therein (Sikkema, 1997).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Data

Pond data: physical, chemical, and biological characteristics with scientific and United States of America state definitions from literature and legislative surveys
Ponds are often identified by their small size and shallow depths, but the lack of a universal definition hampers science and weakens legal protection. In order to determine a working definition of ‘pond’, we conducted a literature search for scientific definitions, a U.S. state survey for management definitions, and looked at pond ecosystem function using data from the literature search. Our dataset includes physical, chemical, and biological data for 1327 waterbodies ≤ 20 ha in surface area and ≤ 9 m in maximum or mean depth from our literature review. These data have a global distribution, we include a table of latitudes and longitudes, and span many years (1946-2019). We have also included a table of 54 pond definitions from the literature review and a table of U.S. state definitions of ponds, wetlands, and lakes resulting from our survey.
Physical & Chemical Parameters from Lakes in Northern Lower Michigan for RANN Campaign based at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Pellston, MI (1972-1975)
In the early 1970s the University of Michigan Biological Station initiated a series of research projects concerning the quality of the lakes in Northern Michigan under the support of the National Science Foundation through the Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) program. Dr. John Gannon joined the Biological Station's staff in 1972 and directed this program for six years. This research had significant impacts on water quality management of lakes throughout Northern Michigan. The Biological Station continued to receive grants for water quality research for several years after the RANN program had terminated.

Measurements from CalCOFI cruises in the California Current System, including log of station information, weather, sea conditions as well as physical, chemical and biological measurements including including temperature, salinity, oxygen, density, sigma theta, phosphate, silicate, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, chlorophyll a, integrated chlorophyll a, primary productivity, and integrated primary production. 1949 - January 2020
Since 1949, hydrographic and biological data of the California Current System have been collected on quarterly CalCOFI cruises. The 59+ year hydrographic time-series includes weather, temperature, salinity, oxygen and phosphate observations. In 1961, nutrient analysis expanded to include silicate, nitrate and nitrite; in 1973, chlorophyll was added; in 1984, C14 primary productivity incubations were added. These data are being provided here in collaboration with CalCOFI-SIO in order to provide an additional queriable interface to the data. The data are updated on a regular basis from the CalCOFI hydrographic database.
