Location: These data were collected at 4 sites along the Snodgrass Mountain trail in the East River Watershed of Colorado USA (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/snodgrass-mountain-trail). The trail begins near Gothic Road in meadow conditions and then climbs through aspen groves before transitioning to conifers (spruce and fir). Each of the sites provided in this data package is located within 50-100 meters of the Snodgrass Mountain trail that begins where the Gothic Road transitions from paved to dirt. The Snodgrass Mountain trail ends at the weather station at the top of the Mountain and this is where the upper most site is. The latitude and longitude of each site is included with the data file and the sites can be easily located by identifying the solar panels on top of tripods.

Description

This dataset contains raw data from four tripod stations along an elevation gradient on Snodgrass Mountain in the East River Watershed, CO, USA. Each station contains a datalogger connected to 3 soil Carbon Dioxide CO2 gas probes, 3 soil temperature/moisture sensors and a micrometeorological station. Sensors are scanned every minute, and the 30 minute average is reported. The file snodgrass_soil_ESS.csv contains raw data and a row of column descriptors and units of measurements. No data processing or QA/QC was done on the raw data sets. This research was performed to investigate the ecohydrological linkages of belowground carbon processes in the East River watershed forested communities to better understand how these ecosystems will respond to a changing cold-season moisture input.
