Geochemistry and Strontium Isotopes for Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado, 2021-2022
The geochemistry and strontium isotope data for Coal Creek Watershed, Colorado, consists of cation, anion, and 87Sr/87Sr isotope values from samples collected at 8 stream location along Coal Creek, samples from two groundwater springs within the watershed, and a shallow subsurface piezometer. All st
Data from: Fitness costs and benefits of a non-native floral resource for subalpine solitary bees
Organisms inhabiting seasonal environments must fit their life cycle into a limited time window while also synchronizing periods of resource consumption with timing of resource availability. Introduced non-native species, which often differ in phenology from natives, can alter and expand the seasona
Supplemental Tables for "Phylogenetic patterns over sixty-five years of vegetation change across a montane elevation gradient" by Veldhuisen et al.
This repository contains three supplemental tables for Veldhuisen et al.'s paper titled "Phylogenetic patterns over sixty-five years of vegetation change across a montane elevation gradient." Tables 1 2 contain species replacements in the Smith Brown (2018) phylogeny for the short and full dataset u
Foliar element determination from field survey in association with an Analytical Spectral Device Fieldspec3 survey, East River, CO 2023
Foliar elements were determined for samples collected in the field during a 2023 survey in Gunnison County, CO that also included paired data collection using an ASD FieldSpec3 spectrometer. Sampling locations were selected based on metal hotspots identified using remote sensing data and foliar elem
Site and endmember spectra of terrestrial vegetation and soils for the Colorado Headwaters Ecological Spectroscopy Study, June-July 2025
This dataset provides site and endmember spectra collected during the 2025 Colorado Headwaters Ecological Spectroscopy Study (CHESS) campaign. The site spectra were collected to help validate airborne hyperspectral data acquired by the National Ecological Observatory Network's aerial observation pla
Groundwater and river water elevations and temperature from 2017 to 2022 across Meander Z in the East River Watershed, Colorado
This dataset includes groundwater and river water elevations and temperature data collected in the East River watershed located in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The data were collected in order to investigate the coupling between hydrology and biogeochemical processes in the floodplain. Data was c
Montane Conifer, Aspen, Meadow, and Sagebrush Metagenome Resolved Genomes and Traits in East River Watershed, Colorado, USA
Climate change is driving vegetation shifts in mountain watersheds, with unknown impacts on biogeochemical cycles. We hypothesize that these shifts will reshape soil microbiomes and associated biogeochemical processes. As a part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Watershed Science Focus
Groundwater elevation data for monitoring wells within the East and Taylor River basins, Colorado (USA)
This dataset is comprised of temporal variations in groundwater elevation data for the 24 monitoring wells located throughout the East River watershed. Seasonal to annual variations in groundwater elevations are a critical property of mountainous watersheds needed to understand both hydrological and
Stream bed topography in 2016 at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado
This dataset contains stream bed topography data from the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado. It is intended to support hydro-biogeochemical analyses for the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA). The stream bed was surveyed using a RTK-GPS (Real-Time Kinematic Global
Soil moisture and temperature from 2019 to 2024 along northeast- and southwest-facing hillslopes at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado
Soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity have been monitored at multiple depths (between 10 and 50 cm) at 4 locations along a northeast-facing slope and 3 locations on the opposite southwest-facing slope at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado, from Oct 2019 to
Metagenome-assembled genomes measured at 3 depths during snowmelt period in East River, CO (March, May, and June, September 2017)
Snowmelt is a critical biogeochemical period that accounts for large nitrogen (N) export events from high-elevation watersheds. Soil microbial populations bloom and immobilize N during snowmelt, yet the population size crashes in spring, which releases a pulse of soil N. We sought to discover the N
Time-lapse imagery in 2017 and 2018 at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado
Time-lapse imagery was collected using an automated RGB camera mounted on a pole at the base of the northeast-facing hillslope at the Lower Montane site in the East River Watershed, Colorado. The imagery was intended to support a better understanding of plant dynamics and their controls during the g
Metagenome-assembled genomes from topsoils along a hillslope water gradient across early snowmelt to late summer in East River, CO
Drought is changing the American Mountain West at unprecedented rates with unknown consequences to soil microbiome composition and function. As a part of LBNL Watershed Science Focus Area (SFA), we investigated shifts in microbial community and transcriptional activity on a subalpine conifer-meadow
