Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Chemistry of Streamwater – Monthly Volume Weighted Concentrations, Watershed 6, 1963 - present

These data include volume-weighted, average, monthly concentrations of
cations, anions, and pH measured in Watershed 6.

HBWatER is a long-term record of stream and precipitation chemistry
and volume. Currently this record is supported by NSF LTREB funding
(for sample collection and processing), USDA Forest Service (USFS)
funding (for maintenance of stream gauges, analytical chemistry and
sample archiving), and LTER (for disposable supplies). The HBWatER
supervisory team currently includes Emma Rosi (Cary Institute of
Ecosystem Studies), Emily Bernhardt (Duke University), John Campbell
(USFS), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse University.), Mark Green (Case
Western Reserve University), Bill McDowell (University of NH ), and
Lindsey Rustad (USFS).

The long-term hydrologic record and calculation of fluxes are
currently supervised by John Campbell (USFS). The collection and
management of the long-term chemistry record is currently supervised
by Emma Rosi (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies) and Emily Bernhardt
(Duke University). At present field samples are collected by Tammy
Wooster (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies), Chemical analyses are
performed by Jeff Merriam (USFS). Data management and archiving is
performed by Mary Martin (University of NH)

HBWatER was initiated in 1963 by G.E. Likens, F. H. Bormann, R.
Pierce, and N. Johnson. The record has been funded over its lifetime
by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, HBR LTER grants (#8702331, #9211768, #9810221, #0423259,
#1114804, #1637685) and NSF LTREB (# 1256696). A full list of

These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study
(HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook
Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA
Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
