Soil solution chemistry measurements at the snow cover experiment, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, 1997-1999

The effect of soil freezing on soil cation and anion losses was assessed using zero-tension lysimeters placed in plots of the snow removal experiment at the Hubbard Brook Expermental Forest. Four plots were used in which one subplot accumulated snow cover at natural rates throughout the winter (C), while the second subplot had snow removed from the first snowfall through early February (F). Replicate lysimeters were installed below the Oa and within the Bs soil horizons and soil solution collected weekly for two winters (1997 - 1998 and 1998 - 1999). This dataset includes solution chemistry measurements for individual lysimeters collected during that time period. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). 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.
