Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Watershed 3 – One year of resin-extracted solutes from variably saturated soils

Hbr363: WS3 One year of resin-extracted solutes from variably
saturated soils

The Lateral Weathering Study looks at spatial patterns of mineral
weathering processes at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. This
project is characterizing mineral and elemental depletion/enrichment,
soil morphology and chemistry, solute transport, and groundwater
chemistry along hydropedological gradients.

This dataset provides the total elemental mass of inorganic solutes
(Ca, Na, Mg, Al, Fe, Mn, P, and S) as well as dissolved organic carbon
(DOC) that were extracted off resins installed into shallow
groundwater wells (~30-100cm) in Watershed 3. Resin packs were
deployed for a total of one year (August 2019-2020) with four
consecutive deployment periods, to avoid overloading resin ion
capacity. Total mass for each solute was accounted for an entire resin
pack, which was 5cm in height and 5cm in diameter, containing
approximately 90 g of resin. Resin packs were installed in three
different topographic positions along three transects (sites = 9), to
characterize solute mass fluxes through different hydropedological
units.
