Shane Creek (Konza Prairie) Stream and Groundwater Pressure Transducer Data (AIMS_GP_SHN_PRES)

Shane Creek, located north of Kings Creek in the Konza Prairie Biological Station (outlet location: 39.11522, -96.55838), is a native tallgrass prairie that experiences cattle grazing and burning every 1-2 years.

These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) Project. 7 pressure transducers were placed in surface water monitoring wells along the Shane Creek watershed, as well as an additional pressure transducer hanging from a tree at the watershed outlet to collect barometric pressure. These pressure transducers collected data from 2023 through 2024. These nested well locations monitored water level continuously throughout the project, as well as served as the AIMS approach 2 sampling locations, where a field team co-collected datasets characterizing the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology across seven locations within the watershed.

These sensors were set to collect temperature and pressure data every 15 minutes starting from 2023 through 2024. The raw pressure data were converted to water level using barometric pressure data and surveyed elevation data. Each .csv file is associated with a single sensor for a single year.
