Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Stream sediment denitrification potential assays, Watershed 1 and Bear Brook

In early September 2015, we sampled five debris dams in both the stream draining W1 and Bear Brook, immediately downstream of W6. This dataset contains laboratory analysis of potential denitrification enzyme activity assays from these sediment cores. Details of the analysis method are reported in the supporting information of Marinos et al. 2018. These data are being published only in the interest of full data transparency. These data have very important limitations, discussed in the supporting information of Marinos et al. 2018, and the authors advise anybody considering reusing this data to be appropriately cautious.

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.
