Abstract:

This data publication contains hydrological and survey data from an experimental manipulation of the forest cover on a north-facing hillslope in the S7 watershed at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Balsam Township, Itasca County, Minnesota. The experiment occurred on a north-facing hillslope in the S7 watershed and the hillslope was divided into three equal plots, with two plots being harvested and one plot being left untouched. Measured data include daily water table elevations for two slope positions, daily subsurface runoff, daily, precipitation, daily soils moisture, pipe top and ground survey, and subsurface runoff trench dimensions collected between 2010 and 2013. Calculated data include event runoff ratios, hydraulic gradients between wells, saturated thickness of the sandy loam aquifer, effective hydraulic conductivity, as well as temporally paired treatment ratios between treatment hillslopes and an unharvested control hillslope.
