Abstract:

This data set reports the chemistry of S1 bog porewater, outlet stream water, and groundwater from upland wells from 2011 through 2013. These data provide information for studies of the biogeochemical status of the bog and surrounding groundwater aquifer.

Porewater samples were collected from one nest of 6 piezometers installed in a hollow in the south end of the S1 bog to characterize solute chemistry depth profiles. Peat porewater was collected from piezometers that opened at 0, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 meter depths below hollow surfaces. Samples were collected weekly (2011) or monthly (2012 & 2013) when the samplers were not frozen (typically June - November). Samples were also collected weekly (2011-2013) at the outlet of the stream draining the S1 bog and uplands (located on the southern edge of the bog). Four groundwater wells located in the uplands of the S1 watershed were sampled monthly in 2013. Water samples were analyzed for pH, specific conductivity, nutrient concentrations (ammonium, nitrate, soluble reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, total phosphorus), cation concentrations (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, strontium), anion concentrations (chloride, sulfate), and total organic carbon concentrations. Bog water level data are also reported for the S1 bog.
