The depth of floodplain fine sediment was measured at 1,601 points along the East River near Crested Butte, Colorado spanning a study reach approximately 800 m in length in 2016 and 2017. These depths are being used to estimate the volume of floodplain sediment present along the study reach, convert

This file contains data used to calculate subsurface flow and transport at the Pumphouse Lower Montane (PLM) hillslope transect. Information includes locations, weather data, hydraulic conductivities, hydraulic head profiles, soil water profiles, depths to the water table, specific conductance (SC)

This data set contains soil measurements made at the Pumphouse Hillslope to Floodplain transect at the locations of the early snowmelt-timing manipulation experiments in the East River Watershed in Colorado, USA. The data were collected in 2016 and 2017 to determine soil microbial responses to snow

This package is part of the Watershed Function SFA project and contains a remote sensing dataset acquired at the East River, Colorado. The remote sensing dataset is composed of vegetation maps computed from hyperspectral and LiDAR airborne data acquired by the NEON team in June 2018. The maps show t

Although bedrock weathering strongly influences water quality and global carbon and nitrogen budgets, the weathering depths and rates within subsurface are not well understood nor predictable. Determination of both porewater chemistry and subsurface water flow are needed in order to develop more com

This dataset comprises paired environmental and genomic data for soil samples collected across meander-bound floodplains G (ERMG), L (ERML) and Z (ERMZ). A total of 96 soil samples (32 per floodplain) from the ~ 10-25 cm layer were collected in September 2015, during base flow conditions. An additio

This dataset includes sapflux and stable water isotopes of soil water and xylem water for aspen, fir and spruce trees along the Snodgrass Mountain transect in the East River Watershed, Colorado USA. The purpose of generating this dataset was to understand: (1) the total flux of water being used by t

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) collected near-surface point-measurements of soil temperature (file variable TDR_T(C)), volumetric water content (file variable TDR_SM(VWC%)), and soil electrical conductivity (file variable TDR_EC(mS/m)) using a time-domain reflectometer (TDR) at a depth

This dataset contains depth-resolved soil environmental variables collected between June 2016 and October 2018 from the Bradley Meadow site in the East River watershed. Datalogger output from 7 Campbell CS655 12 cm Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensors including depth, temperature, volumetric water

The purpose of soil core sampling was to determine soil bulk density, volumetric water content, and soil texture across the sites that were sampled in association with the National Ecological Observatory Network's Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) in 2018. Soil cores were collected from surfa

The purpose of the data package is to present the results of calculations of the following unsaturated-saturated hydraulic parameters of soils of the East River Watershed, Colorado: fully saturated water content (Qs), residual saturation (Qr), van genuchten parameters alpha and n, field capacity (FC

This map is a soil moisture proxy derived from analysis of the UG 1m hydrologically corrected digital elevation model. The intuition behind this map is that areas that have flat topography and are near the elevation of local streams are likely to have high soil moisture. This index builds on the wor

Ecosystem responses to climate change can exert positive or negative feedbacks on climate, mediated in part by slow- moving factors such as shifts in vegetation community composition. Long-term experimental manipulations can be used to examine such ecosystem responses, but they also present another

Adaptive traits are hypothesised to incur fitness trade-offs, and a classical example is metal-tolerant plants that exhibit reduced competitive ability when grown on low-metal substrates. In the present study, we examined whether metal-hyperaccumulating plants exhibit a similar trade-off, by assessi

Over thirty-five minerals have been identified in the Green River formation of the Piceance Creek Basin, using quantitative X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) bulk analysis.Fifteen major phases occur at over 5 wt% average in 117 samples spanning the thickness of the formation.Integrated data from cores, outcro

Noccaea caerulescens (formerly Thlaspi caerulescens, Brassicaceae) is a model species for studying the genetics and physiology of metal hyperaccumulation and is economically valuable for phytoremediation. Its growth and survival under varying natural conditions remain relatively unstudied but such i
