Abstract:

This data set reports the chemistry of surface and porewater water from the Bog Lake peatland in the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Itasca County, Minnesota, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. Surface water has been collected about every other week since 2007 from a pool of water and sampling is ongoing. Once covered with ice, water was typically sampled once a month. Porewaters at five depths (0 to 2 m depths) have been collected about monthly from three different nest of piezometers since 2013, though never when samplers were frozen. Samples are measured for pH, specific conductivity, anions (chloride, sulfate), cations (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, aluminum, iron, manganese, strontium), silicon, nutrients (ammonium, nitrate, soluble reactive phosphorus, total nitrogen, total phosphorus), and total organic carbon.
