Abstract

This data is an on-going collection of soil temperature, soil moisture, soil CO2 concentration, and soil O2 concentration starting in October 2021. We have installed sensors and probes at different soil depths across landscapes in five of the former Critical Zone Observatory locations (see the document named "sensor location"). Soil temperature and moisture are measured using Acclima SDI-12 sensors. Soil CO2 concentrations are measured using Eosense CO2 probes (switching to Vaisala GMP343 and GMP251 in 2023). Soil O2 concentrations are measured using Apogee SO-110-L-10 soil oxygen sensors. This dataset, along with our measurements of soil geomicrobiology and biogeochemistry (available in EarthChem), will help us understand the role of microbes as drivers of Critical Zone biogeochemistry and soil formation.

Hi, Authors,

Would you please elaborate what the units of each column are? Also, what are the definitions of the data in the last three columns? I assume Ka is the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, but what are the ECb and ECw.

Based on device manuals, it is temperatures in degrees Celsius, VWC as a percent, CO2 in parts-per-million, O2 as a percentage.

Many thanks.

There also seem to be missing segments of data, like only "I" subregion of "LUQ" site is available and only subregions in the "T" pit category of the "RC" zone. Is there a more complete dataset, or is the version downloadable from this page the most complete available?
