Stream metabolism study of East Fork Creek, Franklin, TN in years 2022-2023

In East Fork Creek, a headwater stream in middle Tennessee, week-long field campaigns were set up each month from May 2022 to May 2023 to collect stream metabolism estimators. In a more extensive field campaign from July 2-5 in 2022, diel signals were observed for temperature, pH, Ca, Mg, and DIC. Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) were calculated based on a Bayesian model using the dissolved oxygen (DO) time series approach.
