Meteorological and Soil Data from Ecohydrology Sensor Towers at Pump House and Snodgrass Mountain in East River Watershed, Colorado, 2019-2025
This data package includes hourly meteorological and soil sensor data at eight ecohydrology monitoring sites in East River Watershed, Colorado as part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) research led by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). Four field sites were located on the h
Linking surface processes, solute generation, and CO2 budgets across lithological and land cover gradients in Rocky Mountain watersheds
Abstract Chemical weathering in mountain critical zones controls river chemistry and regulates long‐term climate. Mountain landscapes contain diverse landforms created by geomorphic processes, including landslides, glacial moraines, and rock glaciers. These landforms generate unique flowpaths and wa
Increased temperature and CO2 induce plasticity and impose novel selection on plant traits
Climate change is simultaneously increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) and temperatures. We conducted a multi-factorial growth chamber experiment to examine how these climate change factors interact to influence the expression of ecologically relevant morphological and phenolo
AmeriFlux US-UR4 Gunnison - UCRB
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-UR4 Gunnison - UCRB. Site Description - This site is located in Gunnison, Colorado, within a floodplain at a notable elevation. The region experiences cold winters with significant snow cover and cool summers. The ecosystem is hom

Plant and carbon data, snowmelt manipulation experiment, Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), 2023
These data are from a 2023 snowmelt manipulation experiment in Vera Meadow at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. We experimentally advanced the snowmelt date in a montane meadow by approximately 12 days using black shade cloths and assessed the effect on plant and carbon dynamics. We measured
The impact of warming on peak-season ecosystem carbon uptake is influenced by dominant species in warmer sites
Climatic warming affects ecosystem-scale carbon fluxes directly through its impact on photosynthesis and respiration, and indirectly by altering the plant community. This study reports on a 10-year factorial warming and dominant plant species removal experiment, conducted in a high- and a low-elevat
Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas Database Version 2025 (SOCATv2025) (NCEI Accession 0304549)
The ocean absorbs one quarter of the global CO2 emissions from human activity. The community-led Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (www.socat.info) is key for the quantification of ocean CO2 uptake and its variation, now and in the future. SOCAT version 2025 has quality-controlled in situ surface ocean fCO2 (
2D reactive transport model of shale chemical weathering and biogeochemical fluxes along a mountainous hillslope, East River Watershed, Colorado: Input files and simulation results
This data package contains input files and simulation results for a two-dimensional (2D) reactive transport model used to quantitatively analyze the coupled hydrological and biogeochemical processes governing shale weathering and associated biogeochemical fluxes under realistic environmental conditi
Raw Data published in PeerJ, 2021 for Crested Butte decomposition field study 2017-2019
This data package contains text files that describe geochemical measurements collected from 2017-2019 during isolated conifer needle decomposition field studies in Crested Butte, Colorado. The geochemical measurements were collected across three elevations (2,800 3,500 m) ranging from montane to sub
Elevated [CO2] and temperature augment gas exchange and shift the fitness landscape in a montane forb
Climate change is simultaneously increasing carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO 2 ]) and temperature. These factors could interact to influence plant physiology and performance. Alternatively, increased [CO 2 ] may offset costs associated with elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the interaction betwe
WARM experiment Soil Microbial Function, RMBL Colorado, 2021
We examined how abiotic (warming), and biotic (presence of dominant plant species) factors interact to affect soil microbial processes in montane meadow ecosystems at high and low elevations at the WaRM experimental sites near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado in the West Elk rang
AE33 Aethalometer Records at RMBL [AMF2] from April 2022 to October 2023
The dataset presents atmospheric mass loadings of black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), during the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign that took place from 2021 – 2023 in Gothic, CO. A Magee Scientific aethalometer (model AE33) was deployed at the Rocky Mountain Biolog
Interannual precipitation controls on soil CO2 fluxes in high elevation conifer and aspen forests
Long-term soil CO2 emission measurements are necessary for detecting trends and interannual variability in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Such records are becoming increasingly valuable as ecosystems experience altered environmental conditions associated with climate change. From 2013 to 2021, we con
Improving predictions of stream CO2 concentrations and fluxes using a stream network model: A case study in the East River watershed, CO, USA
Abstract Inland waters are an important component of the global carbon budget. However, our ability to predict carbon fluxes from stream systems remains uncertain, as p CO 2 varies within streams at scales of 1–100 m. This makes direct monitoring of large‐scale CO 2 fluxes impractical. We incorporat
The Impact of Warming and Species Removal on Soil Respiration at Low and High Elevations
Warming temperatures are altering ecosystems, including the plants and soil communities that regulate the carbon cycle. Warming can directly alter the carbon cycle by altering plant and soil community respiration; however, altering plant communities can also have impacts on the carbon cycle. The dom
