Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho (Discharge)

<p>Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed discharge records are available for 13 stations with varying lengths of record ranging from 8 to 34 years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Northwest Watershed Research Center initiated a stream discharge and suspended-sediment research program at Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed in the early 1960s. Continuous discharge measurements began at two sites in 1963, at three additional sites in 1964, and at eight additional sites in subsequent years. Contributing areas to these gauging stations range from 1.03 to 23,822 ha, selected to represent the broad range of environmental settings found across northwestern rangelands. Watershed drainage areas range from 1.03 to 23,822 ha with flow characteristics including ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial regimes. Discharge records are available for 13 stations with varying lengths of record ranging from 8 to 34 years. Drop-box weirs have performed well in RCEW over a wide range of discharges and sediment loads. Four additional types of stream-gauging devices are used in RCEW: (1) self-cleaning overflow V-notch (SCOV) weir, (2) 30 V-notch weir, (3) 90 V-notch weir, and (4) Parshall flume. All stations are equipped with stilling wells and floats for obtaining instantaneous measures of stage height. Instrument shelters are heated to permit collection of discharge and sediment data during cold winter periods. Gauging stations are visited on a weekly or biweekly basis to obtain independent stage height readings for error checking and to service all instrumentation. Stage height measurements were originally recorded using Leopold-Stevens A-35 and FW-1 strip chart recorders, later supplanted by electronic data loggers.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Stream Flow.</p> <p>File Name: streamflow.zip</p><p>Resource Description: Data for Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho (Discharge)</p></li></ul>

Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho (Lysimeter)

<p>Lysimeters are instruments that measure water and/or solute movement in soils. The primary purpose for these lysimeters was to measure evapotranspiration (ET); these data describe changes in soil water during the snow-free season. In addition to measuring changes in total soil water, soil water content profiles and soil temperature profiles were measured within or adjacent to the lysimeters and are reported. Two pairs of soil lysimeters were installed in the RCEW in 1967, one pair at the Lower Sheep Creek climate station (designated the east and west lysimeters), separated, center to center, by 3.6 m, and the other pair at the Reynolds Mountain climate station (designated north and south), separated by 4.7 m. These lysimeters were hydraulic weighing lysimeters in which an inner cylindrical tank containing soil is set within a slightly larger outer cylinder. The inner cylinder rests on a coil of 0.05 m diameter butyl tubing filled with liquid (different low-freezing point liquids were used). The inner cylinder was 1.22 m deep and 1.47 m in diameter. The butyl tubing was hydraulically connected underground to a pressure transducer or manometer. The soil in each lysimeter was extracted from near the lysimeter sites. A soil core was taken by repeatedly excavating a soil cylinder of slightly larger diameter than the lysimeter and forcing the lysimeter sleeve over the soil to the depth of the sleeve (1.22 m). A metal plate was then forced across the cylinder bottom and welded to it in place. The inner cylinder, thus filled with soil, was then transported to the previously excavated outer cylinder via crane and set on the butyl tubing. A neutron probe access tube was installed in the center of each lysimeter to monitor soil water content changes with depth, and two 1.2 m ceramic suction "candles" were placed at the bottom of the lysimeters through a separate entrance. This operation resulted in an undisturbed soil monolith with extant vegetation in place. This is critical for two reasons: (1) Growing native vegetation under natural conditions is problematic in this environment, and plant development is slow. (2) The soil horizonation, particularly the argillic and calcic horizons which are both strongly embedded in coarse fragments, would be essentially impossible to reproduce artificially.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: Soil Moisture.</p> <p>File Name: soilmoisture.zip</p><p>Resource Description: Data for Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho (Lysimeter)</p></li></ul>

SGP97 GCIP/NESOB-97 Surface: Daily Precipitation Composite

<p>The Southern Great Plains 1997 (SGP97) Hydrology Experiment originated from an interdisciplinary investigation, "Soil Moisture Mapping at Satellite Temporal and Spatial Scales" (PI: Thomas J. Jackson, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, MD) selected under the NASA Research Announcement 95-MTPE-03. The NESOB 1997 Daily Precipitation Composite is one of several precipitation datasets provided in the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP) Near-Surface Observation Data Set (NESOB) 1997. This precipitation composite is composed of data from several sources (i.e., National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observers, National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and the daily precipitation data extracted from the NESOB 1997 Hourly Precipitation Composite). Data from these sources were quality controlled and merged to form this precipitation composite. After the datasets were merged to form the NESOB 1997 Daily Precipitation Composite, a statistics program was executed to ensure that the quality of the individual datasets had been retained. This composite contains data for the NESOB 1997 domain (approximately 94.5 W to 100.5 W longitude and 34 N to 39 N latitude) and time period (01 April 1997 through 31 March 1998). The NCEP Daily Precipitation dataset was formed by extracting incremental precipitation values. The value reported for any daily observation represents data collected during the previous 24 hours. The Daily Precipitation Composite contains six metadata parameters and four data parameters. The metadata parameters describe the station location and time at which the data were collected. The four data parameters repeat once for each day in the monthly record. Every record has 31 days reported, regardless of the actual number of days in the month. For months with less than 31 days, the extra days are reported as missing (i.e., '-999.99 7 M'). Each 24 hour precipitation value has an associated observation hour. The observation hour is the ending UTC hour for the 24 hour period for which the precipitation value is valid.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: GeoData catalog record.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/SGP97NESOBdailyPrecipComp_jjm_2015-05-07_1041" target="_blank">https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/SGP97NESOBdailyPrecipComp_jjm_2015-05-07_1041</a> </p></li></ul>

Biofuel Residue Removal Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network and Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices in Morris, Minnesota

<p>Biofuel Residue Removal Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network and Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices in Morris, Minnesota
The Biofuel Residue Removal experiment was established at Swan Lake Research farm near Morris MN in 2005. It consists of 3 separate experimental sites, one for each of three tillages—Chisel Plow, No Tillage established in 1995 and No Tillage established in 2005. Four residue removal treatments with 4 replicates were established in a corn/soybean rotation where each phase of the rotation was present each year. Each replicate has 8 plots, 4 removal treatments times 2 crops. Residue removal treatments are no removal, half removal, complete removal, and 75 % removal which was changed to cob removal in 2008.  The 3 experiments have a total of 96 plots—3 tillages x 4 removal rates x 2 crops x 4 replicates.  Greenhouse gas fluxes were measured from spring of 2008 through planting in 2011 in the no and complete removal plots. Root and above ground samples were taken at 75% silk (corn) or R6 (soybean) for plots where greenhouse gasses were measured. Soil samples to 1 meter were taken in 2005 and 2010. Veronica Acosta-Martinez from Lubbock TX measured enzymes and FAME from samples taken in 2008. POM was measured in 2005 and 2009. Erosivity was measured using a rotary sieve in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Corn biomass was sampled at physiological maturity and divided into above ear shank, below ear shank, and cob. It was analyzed for C and N and microwave digested for ICP analysis.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: GeoData catalog record.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/9e882675-98c7-4b45-9e5c-91453da48a9a" target="_blank">https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/9e882675-98c7-4b45-9e5c-91453da48a9a</a> </p></li></ul>

SGP97 GCIP/NESOB-97 Sub-Surface: NOAA/Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) Little Washita 30 Minute Soil Temperature

<p>The Southern Great Plains 1997 (SGP97) Hydrology Experiment originated from an interdisciplinary investigation, "Soil Moisture Mapping at Satellite Temporal and Spatial Scales" (PI: Thomas J. Jackson, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, MD) selected under the NASA Research Announcement 95-MTPE-03. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) Soil Temperature Dataset is one of several sub-surface datasets provided for the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP) Near Surface Observation Data Set (NESOB) 1997 project. This dataset contains data from one station, the Little Washita watershed long term flux site, within the NESOB 1997 domain (100.5W to 94.5W longitude and 34N to 39N latitude) and time period (01 April 1997 through 30 September 1997). Soil Temperature is sampled every 2 seconds with a datalogger and multiplexor (CR21x, Campbell Scientific, Inc.), and averages are computed every 30 minutes. A laptop computer retrieves the soil temperature data from the CR21X datalogger every 30 minutes and appends the data to an existing file. After midnight, the data are copied to separate files with a name, year, and calendar day header. The computer is equipped with a modem and cellular phone in order to retrieve the data and conduct occasional system checks. On average, data are retrieved from the laptop computers about once every two days. The NOAA/ATDD Soil Temperature Dataset contains eight metadata parameters and eighteen data parameters and flags. The metadata parameters describe the date, time, network, station and location at which the data were collected. Data values are valid for the 30 minutes preceding the time of observation, and all times are UTC. The data parameters consist of triplets for each depth.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: GeoData catalog record.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/SGP97NESOB_NOAAsoiltemp_jjm_2015-05-04_1245" target="_blank">https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/SGP97NESOB_NOAAsoiltemp_jjm_2015-05-04_1245</a> </p></li></ul>

Fort Ellis Research and Extension Center Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network in Sidney, Montana

<p>Fort Ellis Research and Extension Center Study for Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network in Sidney, Montana
Sheep (Ovis aries L.) grazing is an inexpensive method of weed control in dryland cropping systems but little is known about its effect on net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We evaluated the effect of sheep grazing compared to herbicide application for weed control on GHG (CO2, N2O, and CH4) emissions from May to October, 2010 and 2011, net global warming potential (GWP), and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) in a silt loam under dryland cropping systems in western Montana. Treatments were two fallow management practices (sheep grazing [GRAZ] and herbicide application [CHEM]) and three cropping sequences (continuous alfalfa [Medicago sativa L.] [CA], continuous spring wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] [CSW], and spring wheat-pea [Pisum sativum L.] /barley [Hordeum vulgaris L.] hay-fallow [W-P/B-F]). Gas samples were collected at 3 to 14 d intervals with a vented, static chamber. Regardless of treatments, GHG fluxes peaked immediately following substantial precipitation (>12 mm) and/or N fertilization mostly from May to August. Total CO2 flux from May to October was greater in GRAZ with CA, but total N2O flux was greater in CHEM and GRAZ with CSW than in other treatments. Total CH4 flux was greater in CA than in W-P/B-F. Net GWP and GHGI were greater in GRAZ with W-P/B-F than in most other treatments. Greater CH4 flux due to increased enteric fermentation as a result of longer duration of grazing during fallow, followed by reduced crop residue returned to the soil and/or C sequestration rate, probably increased net GHG flux in GRAZ with W-P/B-F. Sheep grazing on cropping sequence containing fallow may not reduce net GHG emissions compared to herbicide application for weed control on continuous crops.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: GeoData catalog record.</p> <p>File Name: Web Page, url: <a href="https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/d9d64353-0b6d-4890-b27a-9278dd8678d1" target="_blank">https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/d9d64353-0b6d-4890-b27a-9278dd8678d1</a> </p></li></ul>
