Shambley Creek Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity Data (AIMS_SE_WHR_STIC)

This study was conducted in the Shambley Creek research watershed (outlet location: 32.98410915, -88.01334337) on privately owned property in Greene County (AL, USA). The watershed drains a non-perennial unnamed tributary to Shambley Creek, and contains 0.70 km^2 of coniferous forest managed for silviculture in the East Gulf Coastal Plain physiographic section. Located near Eutaw, AL, the watershed spans an elevation range from 63 to 94 m above sea level, and is a tributary to the Sipsey River (within the larger Mobile-Tombigbee basin). The region has a humid subtropical climate, with mean daily January and July air temperatures of 7.3°C and 27.4°C respectively, and mean annual precipitation of 1,350 mm/yr.

These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) Project. 20 STIC loggers were placed along the Shambley Creek watershed and collected data from Sep. 2021 through Sep. 2024. These sensors were set to collect temperature and conductivity data every 15 minutes starting from Sep. 2021 through Apr. or May 2024, and every 1 hour from May to Sep. 2024. The raw conductivity data were used to classify the timeseries into wet or dry readings at each timestep. Each .csv file is associated with a single site for a single year.
