This data set reports ice on and ice off dates for Mirror Lake beginning in 1968 and continuing through the present. Mirror Lake is located within the Hubbard Brook valley in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and has been the subject of numerous limnological investigations since the early 1960s. These Mirror Lake data are part of the Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record (HBWatER), a long-term record of weekly sampling of nine gaged watersheds at Hubbard Brook which includes the stream draining Mirror Lake. The collection and management of the long-term record was initiated in 1963 by Gene E. Likens, F. Herbert Bormann, Robert S. Pierce, and Noye M. Johnson. HBWatER is currently sustained by Tammy Wooster (Cary IES) and Jeff Merriam (USFS) and the dataset is curated and maintained by a team of researchers: Chris Solomon (Cary IES), Emily Bernhardt (Duke), Bill McDowell (UNH), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse U.), Keith Nislow (USFS), and Mark Green (Case Western). Current financial Support for HBWatER is provided by NSF LTREB # 2401760 and the USDA Forest Service Northern Research Station. 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.

Mirror Lake High-Frequency Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Profiles
This lake metabolism data was collected by HOBO Temperature loggers and miniDOT loggers that were deployed at Mirror Lake Central Buoy over the deepest part of the lake (11m) on 2023-08-23. HOBO loggers were deployed vertically at depths 0.25m, 2m, and 4m, and miniDOT loggers were deployed vertically at depths 0.5m, 1m, and 6m. Sensors were tied to nylon climbing rope at these different depths and anchored to a buoy. Loggers were later removed on 2023-09-08. 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 in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

During 2016 - 2023, during the bird breeding season, we collected 99,778 files of bioacoustic recordings in and near the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire. Here, we provide a manifest of the sound files. Most files are one-hour recordings collected at 32 kHz and saved in FLAC format (~ 25 MB per file, ~ 13 TB total). Typical recording configuration was 05:00 - 08:00 and 17:30 - 20:30 local time. The full sound files have been saved in three respositories: two copies at Dartmouth College (Ayres lab) and one copy at the Macauley Library, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. The full sound files are available upon request. The file attributes within the manifest include date, start time, and recorder group: e.g., Main, 10ha, Oven, VW, AshBirch, and Ridge. Each recorder group had 5 - 20 recorders at plots separated by >100 m. Coordinates of each recorder are associated with plot names within metadata. The bird species expected to occur in these recordings are those from Holmes et al. (2021). These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES).

Mirror Lake is located within the Hubbard Brook Valley, NH and has been the subject of numerous continuous limnological investigations since the early 1960s. The long-term Mirror Lake record is part of the Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record (HBWatER), which is a long-term record of weekly sampling of nine gauged watersheds at Hubbard Brook and includes sampling of the Mirror Lake inlets, outlets and water column. This data set reports streamwater chemistry samples from the Mirror Lake outlet beginning in 1967 and continuing through 2014. The collection and management of the long-term record was initiated in 1963 by Gene E. Likens, F. Herbert Bormann, Robert S. Pierce, and Noye M. Johnson. HBWatER is currently sustained by Tammy Wooster (Cary IES) and Jeff Merriam (USFS) and the datasets are curated and maintained by a team of researchers: Chris Solomon (Cary IES), Emma Rosi (Cary IES), Emily Bernhardt (Duke), Lindsey Rustad (USFS), John Campbell (USFS), Bill McDowell (UNH), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse U.), Mark Green (Case Western), and Scott Bailey (USFS). Current financial Support for HBWatER is provided by NSF LTREB # 1907683 and the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. 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.more » « less

Cone Pond Watershed: Soil Profiles (Pedons), 1988-2023 This dataset documents pedons (soil profiles) sampled at Cone Pond Watershed, Thornton, New Hampshire. Since the early 1980’s, Cone Pond, on the Pemigewasset District of the White Mountain National Forest, has been an active research satellite site to the nearby Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. In 1988, intensive monitoring began as part of a comprehensive watershed scale ecosystem study. A weir was built on the main inlet stream, just above its mouth at Cone Pond, to monitor streamflow. Two rain gages were installed to monitor atmospheric deposition and multiple studies of major ecosystem components were initiated. Soil profiles documented in this dataset were sampled between 1988 and 2003. All descriptive profile and horizon data as well as chemical analyses of samples of genetic horizons are included in this dataset. Samples from 123 of these horizons have been accessioned into the Hubbard Brook physical sample archive; the archived mass of each is included in the horizon table. In addition to these pedons sampled in detail, a number of reconnaissance observations, made at a lower level of detail, and without sampling, were made in 2023 in order to validate a hydropedologic soil model created at Hubbard Brook. These data are included in a separate table. 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.more » « less
