Code for Temperature Manipulation Experiment at HBEF

This resource describes code for the temperature manipulation experiment in \"Stream bryophytes promote “cryptic” productivity in highly oligotrophic headwaters\" (Thellman et al. 2024). Water baths constructed from ~6\" PVC pipes were warmed to approximately 2 degrees C above ambient stream temperature in the Spring of 2021 at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF). Operationally, the \"warm\" treatments were heated from an Arduino that turned on and off an aquarium heater to maintain temperatures above ambient. Ambient temperatures were also recorded from the Arduinos to an SD card. Approximately every 2 days the SD cards were downloaded for data. The aquarium heater was powered by a propane generator that ran for 2-3 weeks. Full methods and data are described in Thellman and others (2024).
