Abstract

This data package contains core sample organic carbon (OC) and inorganic carbon (IC) , pore water dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), temperature depth profiles, subsurface carbon dioxide fluxes, 13C , depth and season-dependent respiration rates from incubated samples. This field‐based study spans a depth of 7 meters through the unsaturated zone into groundwater, and was done to explore depth-resolved carbon fluxes. Dissolved organic carbon flux and other environmental mechanisms are characteristic of arid‐ and semiarid climate regions, and can be incorporated to improve carbon flux predictions.

Deep Unsaturated Zone Contributions to Carbon Cycling in Semiarid Environments

Journal Article Wan, Jiamin ; Tokunaga, Tetsu K. ; Dong, Wenming ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Biogeosciences

Abstract Understanding terrestrial carbon cycling has relied primarily on studies of topsoils that are typically characterized to depths shallower than 0.5 m. At a semiarid site instrumented down to 7 m, we measured seasonal‐ and depth‐resolved carbon inventories and fluxes and groundwater and unsaturated zone flow rates. Measurements showed that ~30% of the CO ₂ efflux to the atmosphere (60% in winter) originates from below 1 m, contrary to predictions of less than 1% by Earth System Model land modules. Respiration from deeper roots and deeper microbial communities is supported by favorable subsurface temperatures, moisture, and oxygen availability. Below 1 m, dissolved organic carbonmore »« less

Deep vadose zone respiration contributions to CO2 fluxes from a semi-arid floodplain, Vadose Zone Journal: Dataset

Dataset Bill, Markus ; Christensen, John ; Conrad, Mark ; ...

This data package provides lists of parameter values presented in the paper “Deep vadose zone respiration contributions to CO2 fluxes from a semi-arid floodplain” by Tokunaga et al., Vadose Zone J. 2016. Each table or figure from that paper that contains numerical information is represented as a sheet within the Excel file. Table 1 lists depth profile values for particle-size, bulk density, and parameters for correlating moisture contents with matric potentials. Table 2 lists soil respiration fluxes reported in other studies of semi-arid environments. Figure 3. Presents representative relations between moisture contents with matric potentials. Figure 4 presents depth profilesmore »« less
Data From: Influence of Hydrological Perturbations and Riverbed Sediment Characteristics on Hyporheic Zone Respiration of CO2 and N-2, Journal of Geophysical Research-Biogeosciences

Dataset Newcomer, Michelle ; Hubbard, Susan

This data package contains pumping data (.txt), parameter matrices, and R code (.R, .RData) to perform bootstrapping for parameter selection for the bioclogging model development. The pumping data were collected from the Russian River Riverbank Filtration site located in Sonoma County, California from 2010-2017 from three riverbank collection wells located alongside the study site. The pumping data is directly correlated with water table oscillations, so the code performs these correlations and simulates stochastic versions of water table oscillations. See Metadata Description.pdf for full details on dataset production. This dataset must be used with the R programming language. This dataset andmore »« less
