Abstract

This is a new data and metadata reporting format for soil respiration data, based on engagement with a wide range of researchers in the earth and ecological sciences as well as expert advisory panels. Reporting formats are intended to be ‘bottom-up’, community-developed documents and templates that can enable consistent, findable, accessible, interoperable, and reproducible (FAIR) data; our goal was a reporting format that would be relevant and useful for synthesis activities, optimizing data discoverability and usability while not placing an undue burden on data contributors. The format is split into two levels of information—metadata about chambers (used to measure soil respiration in the field), and the measured data themselves. The file data_reportingformat_template.xlsx contains information on how the data table should be structured, including field names, field descriptions, and units; the chammetadata_reportingformat_template.xlsx file contains similar information for the chamber-level metadata. Fundamentally, this format aims to enable FAIR data through an easy-to-use guide for data providers interested in formatting their data in a common way, and provide ‘future-proofing’ capabilities to support reanalyses of soil respiration data, a globally-important component of the carbon cycle.

ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Sample-based Water and Soil Chemistry Measurements

Dataset Boye, Kristin ; Crystal-Ornelas, Robert ; O'Ryan, Dylan ; ...

The ESS-DIVE (Environmental Systems Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem) reporting format for sample-based water and soil chemistry measurements are written guidelines and spreadsheet templates, that facilitate archiving water/soil/sediment chemistry data. The templates and terminology lists provided as part of the reporting format can help organize data and potentially enable data reuse.The reporting format consists of a general instructions file (instructions.md) as well as more detailed instructions files for each template (files beginning “Detailed_Instructions_*.md). The “examples” folder includes an example of each data template with just the limited set of required fields filled out as well as other examplesmore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for File-level Metadata

Dataset Velliquette, Terri ; Welch, Jessica ; Crow, Michael ; ...

The ESS-DIVE reporting format for file-level metadata (FLMD) provides granular information at the data file level to describe the contents, scope, and structure of the data file to enable comparison of data files within a data package. The FLMD are fully consistent with and augment the metadata collected at the data package level. We developed the FLMD template based on a review of a small number of existing FLMD in use at other agencies and repositories with valuable input from the Environmental Systems Science (ESS) Community. Also included is a template for a CSV Data Dictionary where users can providemore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Comma-separated Values (CSV) File Structure

Dataset Velliquette, Terri ; Welch, Jessica ; Crow, Michael ; ...

The ESS-DIVE reporting format for Comma-separated Values (CSV) file structure is based on a combination of existing guidelines and recommendations including some found within the Earth Science Community with valuable input from the Environmental Systems Science (ESS) Community. The CSV reporting format is designed to promote interoperability and machine-readability of CSV data files while also facilitating the collection of some file-level metadata content. Tabular data in the form of rows and columns should be archived in its simplest form, and we recommend submitting these tabular data following the ESS-DIVE reporting format for generic comma-separated values (CSV) text format files.

ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Hydrologic Monitoring Data and Metadata

Dataset Goldman, Amy E ; Ren, Huiying ; Torgeson, Joshua ; ...

The ESS-DIVE Reporting Format (RF) for Hydrologic Monitoring Data and Metadata was designed for water level, temperature, electrical conductivity, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and pH measured in situ using sensors deployed in water bodies. It can also be applied to a broader suite of variables beyond its original scope. The RF is intended to provide clear and easy guidance to data generators aiming to upload consistent findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) datasets. The RF includes instructions (pdf), a term guide (csv), templates (csv and xlsx), and a list of recommended vocabulary (csv) to equip the data generator with allmore »« less
ESS-DIVE Reporting Format for Amplicon Abundance Table

Dataset Weisenhorn, Pamela ; Beilsmith, Kathleen ; Gu, Tianhao

While standardized sequencing data is available in public repositories and efforts such as MIxS for common sample collection and processing metadata are well established, the lack of common bioinformatic processing metadata has hindered the ability to do large-scale metaanalyses and the potential for data re-use by non-experts such as ecosystem, watershed, or earth system modelers. To address this need for Department of Energy researchers, we have developed an amplicon reporting format which captures both sample preparation and bioinformatic processing metadata and stores processed amplicon data as a paired abundance table and sequencing file to maximize the potential for re-use ofmore »« less
