Saddle catchment sensor network data, 2017- ongoing.

Spatial and temporal variability characterizes virtually all
ecosystems, with resource supply changing over the course of growing
season and across years due to climate variation. To better understand
spatial heterogeneity in ecological response across landscape
positions, we established a 16-node sensor array within a 45 hectare
catchment landscape that measures temporal variability of important
biogeochemical and hydrological controls on ecosystem processes. The
array was established at the Niwot Saddle catchment in order to
accompany long term water quality and discharge records taken at the
top and bottom of this catchment. The region forms an important
ecological linkage between the the terrestrial areas of the Niwot
Ridge LTER and the aquatic component in the Green Lakes Valley.
