Stream Water Chemistry near KBS — Aquatic Studies

Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Water chemistry data are collected approximately 4-5 times/year from streams near Kellogg Biological Station. Sampling has usually been done at least one week after rainfalls greater than one inch, or equivalent snowmelt, and thus the data do not represent ephemeral discharge peaks. Discharge is estimated using a Marsh McBirney flow meter at several points across the channel; the USGS continuously monitors discharge (and makes more accurate measurements) at a location on Augusta Creek (station 04105700).

This datatable is part of the Water Chemistry in Streams, Lakes Wetlands and Groundwater near the KBS LTER dataset.

Water chemistry is measured in diverse surface waters and in two water supply wells in the vicinity of the KBS LTER. This dataset includes sites sampled over time (streams, wells, some wetlands) as well as wetland sites sampled once or a few times. A separate dataset includes soil water chemistry sampled from the LTER treatments.
