Title: Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Watershed 3 Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity
This is a dataset of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) collected from augered boreholes or installed groundwater wells in Watershed 3 of the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. Hydraulic conductivity describes the ability of a porous medium such as soil to transmit fluid. It is dependent on both fluid (e.g., viscosity) and porous medium properties, and is a key property for estimating subsurface flow rates. Measurements were collected from near the soil surface (10-15 cm depth) to several meters below the surface. Locations are provided for sites where the confidence in coordinates established by GPS was high. Soil horizons without subordinate designators are approximate since the characterization skill of observers varied. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES) and several other NSF grants over the period from approximately 2007 to 2019. The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.  more » « less

    Chemical analyses were performed on sieved and dried soil samples collected for the Lateral Weathering project within Watershed 3, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, Woodstock, NH, USA from 2018-2020. Chemical information corresponds to horizons described in dataset HBR361, which were collected from pits described in the same dataset. Analyses include pH, C, N, exchangeable ions, secondary metals from citrate dithionite and ammonium oxalate in the dark, and total elemental content. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

    Tension-free lysimeters were installed in three soil horizons at 13 locations within Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest Watershed 1, representing the variation in elevation and forest type of the watershed. At each location lysimeters were placed beneath the Oa horizon and within the upper and lower B horizon. Soil solution samples were collected approximately monthly and analyzed for pH, acid neutralizing capacity (ANC), base cations, soluble anions, trace metals, nitrogen and carbon. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

    Tension-free lysimeters were installed in three soil horizons at three locations adjacent to Hubbard Brook Experiment Forest Watershed 6. At each location lysimeters were placed beneath the Oa horizon and within the upper and lower B horizon. Soil solution samples were collected approximately monthly and analyzed for pH, acid neutralizing capacity (ANC), base cations, soluble anions, trace metals, nitrogen and carbon. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES).

    Soil pits and horizons were described and sampled as part of the Lateral Weathering project within Watershed 3, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, Woodstock, NH, USA from 2018-2020. Soil pits were dug and described using NRCS methods. When possible, physical samples were archived in the Hubbard Brook Sample Archive. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
