This resource reports geochemical data (elemental composition and Si and Ge isotope ratios) of stream water, groundwater, stream sediment, bulk soils, rocks, and separated clays collected in May 2010 in the La Selva Biological Research Station, as well as the surrounding area in the Heredia Province, Costa Rica. The majority of these data form the basis of the peer-reviewed article "Ge and Si isotope behavior during intense tropical weathering and ecosystem cycling" by Baronas et al. published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2020.

The associated metadata are supplied in the Baronas2020_LaSelva_metadata.csv file and the chemical data are supplied in the Baronas2020_LaSelva_chemical_data.csv file. The data tables from the Baronas et al. (2020) article are also supplied in the Baronas2020_GBC_tables.xlsx file. The sampling and analytical methods are described in the file Baronas2020_LaSelva_methods.pdf.
