Abstract:

This data set reports surface and porewater chemistry from the bog and lagg of the S2 peatland at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Itasca County, Minnesota. Lagg porewaters have been collected weekly from shallow depth samplers (0-10 cm) at two sites, 2009 to ongoing. Bog porewaters have been collected weekly or biweekly from shallow depth samplers (0-10 cm) at three sites from 2010 to ongoing. Bog waters have been collected monthly at multiple depths (0, 30, 50, 100, and ~200 cm) at three piezometers nests from 2014 to ongoing. Lagg and bog surface or porewaters were synoptically collected from up to 40 and 13 sites (0-10 cm depth), respectively, multiple times from 2009 to 2014. Samples have never been collected when samplers were frozen (typically November to May). 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. Water isotopes have been measured for some but not all samples. The MEF is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
