Sev REE Project 2023

This study investigated aeolian sediment transport and spatial distribution of sediment in the surface soil for seven years following a prescribed fire using a multiple rare earth element tracer-based approach in a shrub-encroached desert grassland in the northern Chihuahuan desert. The data sets include data on: rare earth element tracer (REE tracers: holmium (Ho), Ytterbium (Yb), and Europium (Eu) on shrub, bare, and grass microsites, respectively) concentrations in sediment from aeolian sediment collectors and from soil, aeolian erosion rates (horizontal mass flux) and meteorological parameters.
