Title: Bulk density, grain size, carbon, and nitrogen content of floodplain fine sediment along the East River, Colorado collected from 2014 to 2017

Abstract

The dataset is comprised of grain size, bulk density, carbon and nitrogen content of soils sampled on the floodplain of the East River 4 to 11 km downstream of Gothic, CO near Crested Butte. This dataset was collected to characterize the sedimentological properties and carbon inventory of the East River floodplain. The data help quantify the flux and storage of sediment and carbon between the East River and the alluvial floodplain bounding the river. The samples were collected between 2014 and 2017. The soil samples come from a total of 156 locations and were sampled in the upper 40 to 60 cm of the floodplain and in abandoned channel segments or oxbows. Not all samples were analyzed for all properties, but 26 samples were analyzed for bulk density, full particle size distribution, carbon, and nitrogen content. An additional 48 samples were analyzed for particle size fraction greater than and less than 2 mm and total organic content determined by loss on ignition. The dataset is comprised of a total of six separate data files based on the sample type and analysis and another file lists the sample identifications and locations of samples with a complete suite of analyses.
