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. <br> 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
