Title: Hot spots and hot moments of nitrogen in a riparian corridor, Water Resources Research: Dataset

Dataset ·

We simulated a fully coupled biogeochemical system in the Rifle floodplain from 1 January to 31 December 2014. We use 3D high resolution reactive transport modeling to investigate whether the spatial distribution of organic carbon rich and chemically reduced sediments located in the riparian zone and temporal variability in groundwater flow direction impact the formation and distribution of nitrogen hot spots (regions that exhibit higher reaction rates when compared to other locations nearby) and hot moments (times that exhibit high reaction rates as compared to longer intervening time periods) within the Rifle floodplain in Colorado. This data package includes simulated hydrologic and biogeochemical data from 01 Jan 2014 to 31 Dec 2014.
