Abstract:

This data publication includes water chemistry data for samples from the S2 and S6 research catchments at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Balsam Township, Itasca County, Minnesota. Data include weekly or more frequent samples of stream water collected from 2009 to 2011. Measurements were taken in upland runoff waters (both overland flow and subsurvey stormflow), which were collected on an event-basis. Both synoptic samples of lagg waters were collected as well as weekly lagg samples from two sites. During 2011, some water samples were collected in the S2 bog. A few additional samples were taken in 2012, 2015, and 2016 to allow a comparison of two different TOC measurement methods and those data are also included. Concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and pH were measured on unfiltered water samples at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory of the Northern Research Station in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Some of the water samples were analyzed at the Cotner aquatic ecology lab at the University of Minnesota (St. Paul) for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, bacterial respiration rate, and biodegradable DOC (BDOC) concentration. Natural-abundance water isotopes were also measured for a subset of the samples.
