Soil N pools and process rates for catenas at Caribou-Poker Research Watersheds and the Kuparuk River

Data describe soil NH4+ and NO3- pools, potential rates of denitrification and nitrification, and net N mineralization and nitrification. Soil pH, moisture, and organic matter are also included. Soils were sampled along a hillslope catena at hillslope, toeslope, and valley bottom locations and resolved to 5 cm depth increments. One hillslope at Carbiou-Poker Creeks Research Watersheds and one hillslope within the upper Kuparuk River basin were sampled. Samples were collected August 2009.
