Alkalinity, organic carbon, nitrogen, and major anions for Pond Branch at Oregon Ridge, Baltimore County, MD, USA

This resource includes stream chemistry for Pond Branch at Oregon Ridge, Baltimore County, MD, USA. This data set is part of the Urban Critical Zone Cluster in the NSF Critical Zone Collaborative Network. Stream grab samples were collected biweekly and analyzed for alkalinity, total organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, total nitrogen, total dissolved nitrogen, bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen, orthophosphate phosphorous, and sulfate. Data are collected for the purpose of (1) trend analysis as a function of space and time; (2) evaluation of the effects of regional geology, anthropogenic perturbations, and weathering processes on stream chemistry; and (3) comparison with stream chemistry from other sites in the Urban CZ cluster.
