Caribou Bog, Maine, USA

This database contains measurements and datasets acquired in Caribou Bog, ME, USA, over a 21 year period. Most of this work was supported by a sequence of grants from Hydrologic Sciences program of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The datasets were acquired to investigate peatland hydrology and methane cycling in this ombotrophic peatland. The datasets include coring, hydrological and aqueous chemistry measurements, geophysical measurements and methane chamber flux measurements. Data included in this database have been reported in a series of publications by the authors of this resource spanning from 2002-2020. The database will continue to evolve as work on Caribou Bog continues by the collaborators. The database includes a set of QGIS files that can be used to help visualize many elements of the database.

The extensive files and datasets are organized into folders based around key types of data. The entire set of folders for each dataset is uploaded as a single ZIP file. Users should download the large zip files and extract the folders/subfolders into a master directory. QGIS files are provided to assist with visualizing many of the datatypes in the database.
