DWCZ - CO - Gordon Gulch 1, Soil Temperature, Soil Moisture, (DWCZ-GG1-Tran-SMST) -- (2020-Ongoing)

Soil Moisture and Temperature Arrays and Groups at various depths at locations 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10.

LOCATION: Gordon Gulch (2590 m) lies within Arapahoe National Forest and is divided into Lower and Upper Gordon Gulch. Gordon Gulch joins the North Boulder Creek about 16 km downstream from Green Lakes Valley (GLV). This site is underlain by biotite gneiss and is mostly forested. Different aspect slopes present contrasts in soils and vegetation: thinner, less-weathered rock with grasses and Ponderosa pine (P. ponderosa) on south-facing slopes, and thicker, more weathered rock with dense Lodgepole pine (P. cortorta) on north-facing slopes. It is characterized by the low-relief remnants of a dissected Tertiary erosion surface in which weathered rock profiles are up to 15 m thick.

ABSTRACT: Temperature and soil moisture sensors (campbell scientific 107 temperature sensors and CS616 soil moisture sensors) are installed at various depths below the ground surface to measure temperature and soil moisture. Sensors at this site are separated into two plots, Snow Melt (SM) and Simulated Rain (SR).
