Youngmeyer Ranch Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity Data (AIMS_GP_YMR_approach1_STIC)

This resource includes Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity (STIC) data collected from Youngmeyer Ranch.Youngmeyer Ranch is located in Elk County, KS (outlet location: 37.56442, -96.49106) and managed by Witchita State University and owned by the Youngmeyer Trust. The ranch is roughly 1902 ha of grassland prairie used predominantly for cattle grazing and is burned every 1-2 years. A tributary of the Elk River, specifically the south branch of the Elk River headwaters, elevation at Youngmeyer ranges from 373-488 m with mean annual temperature of 13.7°C and mean annual precipitation of 979mm. These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) Project. These sensors were set to collect temperature and conductivity data every 15 minutes starting in May 2021 through November 2024, and the raw conductivity data were used to classify the timeseries into wet or dry readings at each timestep. Each .csv file is associated with a single site. Also included is a “ReadMe” file that includes author information, column descriptions, and site locations.

本数据集包含从扬迈尔牧场（Youngmeyer Ranch）采集的溪流温度、间歇性与电导率（Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity, 简称STIC）数据。扬迈尔牧场位于堪萨斯州埃尔克县，其出水口点位坐标为37.56442, -96.49106，由威奇托州立大学（Wichita State University）管理，所有权归扬迈尔信托基金（Youngmeyer Trust）所有。该牧场总面积约1902公顷，为草原草甸生境，主要用于肉牛放牧，每1-2年开展一次烧荒作业。场地内的溪流为埃尔克河（Elk River）的一条支流，具体为埃尔克河河源南支；扬迈尔牧场范围内的海拔区间为373至488米，年平均气温13.7℃，年平均降水量979毫米。本数据集的采集旨在满足“溪流微生物组的水生间歇性影响（Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams, 简称AIMS）”项目的采样目标。传感器被设置为每15分钟采集一次温度与电导率数据，采集时段为2021年5月至2024年11月；原始电导率数据被用于将各时间步的时序数据划分为湿润或干旱读数类别。每个.csv格式文件对应单个监测点位。数据集同时包含一份"ReadMe"说明文件，其中涵盖作者信息、数据列说明以及监测点位坐标信息。
