Depth profiles of soil CO2 concentrations, soil temperature, and soil moisture (Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, Gothic, Colorado, 2011-2021)

In 2009, we installed vertical profiles of automated soil pore space CO2 concentration sensors (Vaisala GMM 222; 5-sensor profile) under two forest cover types ( aspen and mixed conifer) at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) in Gothic, Coloardo. The CO2 profile measurements are paired with soil temperature and moisture measurements. The datasets (.csv format) contain the following variables: Year — YYYY Month — MM Day — DD Hour — HH CO2 50cm — Soil CO2 concentration @ -50 cm depth (ppm) (Vaisala) CO2 15cm — Soil CO2 concentration @ -15 cm depth (ppm) (Vaisala) CO2 5cm — Soil CO2 concentration @ -05cm depth (ppm) (Vaisala) CO2 0-1cm — Soil CO2 concentration @ soil surface (ppm) (Vaisala) CO2 1.5m air — Ambient air CO2 concentration @ 150 cm above soil surface (ppm) Soil T 50cm — Soil temperature @ -50 cm depth (°C) Soil T 15cm — Soil temperature @ -15 cm depth (°C) Soil T 5cm — Soil temperature @ -05cm depth (°C) Soil T 0cm — Soil temperature @ soil surface (°C) T 1.5 air — Air temperature @ 150 cm above soil surface (°C) VWC 50cm — Soil volumetric water content @ -50 cm depth (%) (Campbell) VWC 15cm — Soil volumetric water content @ -15 cm depth (%) (Campbell) VWC 5cm — Soil volumetric water content @ -05cm depth (%) (Campbell) Decagon Soil T 50cm — Soil temperature @ -50 cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Decagon Soil T 15cm — Soil temperature @ -15 cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Decagon Soil T 5cm — Soil temperature @ -05cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Decagon Soil EC 50cm — Soil electrical conductivity @ -50 cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Decagon Soil EC 15cm — Soil electrical conductivity @ -15 cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Decagon Soil EC 5cm — Soil telectrical conductivity @ -05cm depth (°C) (Decagon) Battery voltage
