Soil pH Buffering Capacity, Geochemical Characterization, and Soil Water Retention for Arctic Soils of Seward Peninsula and Utqiagvik, Alaska, 2013-2019
Abstract
This dataset provides pH titration data and soil pH buffering capacities of 21 Arctic soils that were collected between 2013-2019. Geochemical data including soil organic carbon, carbon:nitrogen ratio, initial pH, and gravimetric water content are also reported. Additional measurements of cation exchange capacity and soil water retention (dry range) are presented for selected soils. A script, developed in R, is also included for a simple biogeochemical simulation that incorporates soil pH buffering capacity. This dataset contains 7 csv files and one R script.The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments: Arctic (NGEE Arctic), was a research effort to reduce uncertainty in Earth System Models by developing a predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems and feedbacks to climate. NGEE Arctic was supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research.The NGEE Arctic project had two field research sites: 1) located within the Arctic polygonal tundra coastal region on the Barrow Environmental Observatory (BEO) and the North Slope near Utqiagvik (Barrow), Alaska and 2) multiple areas on the discontinuous permafrost region of the Seward Peninsula north of Nome, Alaska.Through observations, experiments, and synthesis with existing datasets, NGEE Arctic provided an enhanced knowledge base for multi-scale modeling and contributed to improved process representation atmore »
