Characteristics of Natural Organic Matter in Forested Canadian Water Sources by LC-OCD

This dataset consists of a subset of liquid chromatography-organic carbon detector (LC-OCD) and pH data collected as part of a forWater NSERC Strategic Network project. LC-OCD is a size exclusion chromatography/dissolved organic carbon detection technique employed for characterizing the fractional composition of carbon in water samples. Natural water samples were collected from streams in six different forested watersheds across Canada from April 2019 to September 2022 by collaborating researchers. Sample analysis was conducted by the WaterSTP Group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Data from select samples collected from July 2019 to June 2021 are included in this dataset.
