High resolution spatial, chemical (dissolved organic carbon) and hydrological dataset of the upper Rappbode Catchment in the temperate Harz Mountains, Germany

This dataset chemically, hydrologically and spatially describes dissolved organic carbon (DOC) source zones within a riparian zone (RZ) of a small temperate forested catchment (2.54 km²) to assess DOC export patterns. - Chemical classification via FT-ICR MS to classify DOC sources - stream discharge and depth to water table of 28 adjacent piezometers (installed on a study site of 3600m² adjacent RZ) at a 15 min time step - topographical wetness index of the study site at 1 m resolution.
