Soil solution chemistry measurements at the snow cover experiment, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, 1997-1999

The effect of soil freezing on soil cation and anion
losses was assessed using zero-tension lysimeters placed in
plots of the snow removal experiment at the Hubbard Brook
Expermental Forest. Four plots were used in which one subplot
accumulated snow cover at natural rates throughout the winter
(C), while the second subplot had snow removed from the first
snowfall through early February (F). Replicate lysimeters
were installed below the Oa and within the Bs soil horizons
and soil solution collected weekly for two winters (1997 -
1998 and 1998 - 1999). This dataset includes solution
chemistry measurements for individual lysimeters collected
during that time period. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook
Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at
the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and
maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research
Station.
