BOREAS TE-1 SSA-Fen Soil Profile Nutrient Data

Darwin Anderson, Andrea Papagno

Summary

The BOREAS TE- 1 team collected various data to characterize the soil-plant systems in the BOREAS

SSA. Particular emphasis was placed on nutrient biochemistry, the stores and transfers of organic

carbon, and how the characteristics were related to measured methane fluxes. The overall transect in

the Prince Albert National Park (Saskatchewan, Canada) included the major plant communities and

related soils that occurred in that section of the boreal forest. Soil physical, chemical, and biological

measurements along the transect were used to characterize the static environment, which allowed them

to be related to methane fluxes. Chamber techniques were used to provide a measure of methane

production/uptake. Chamber measurements coupled with flask sampling were used to determine the

seasonality of methane fluxes. This particular data set contains soil profile measurements of various

nutrients at the SSA-Fen site. The data were collected from 23-May to 21-Oct-1994. The data are

stored in tabular ASCII files.

Missng Data Value -- Thevalue that indicates missing data. This is used -o

indicate that an attempt wasmadeto determine the

parameter value, but the attempt wasunsuccessful.

Unrel Data Value -- Thevalue that indicates unreliable data. This is used

to indicate an attempt was madeto determine the

parameter value, but the value was deemedto be

unreliable by the analysis personnel.

Below Detect Limit -- The value that indicates parameter values below the

instruments detection limits. This is used to

indicate that an attempt wasmadeto determine the

parameter value, but the analysis personnel determined

that the parameter value was below the detection

limit of the instrumentation.

Data Not Cllctd -- This value indicates that no attempt wasmadeto

determine the parameter value. This usually

indicates that BORIScombinedseveral similar but

8. Data Organization

8.1 Data Granularity

The smallest unit of data tracked by the BOREAS Information System (BORIS) was the data

collected at a given site on a given date.

8.2 Data Format(s)

The Compact Disk-Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) files contain American Standard Code for

Information Interchange (ASCII) numerical and character fields of varying length separated by

commas. The character fields are enclosed with single apostrophe marks. There are no spaces between

the fields.

Each data file on the CD-ROM has four header lines of Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML)

code at the top. When viewed with a Web browser, this code displays header information (data set

title, location, date, acknowledgments, etc.) and a series of HTML links to associated data files and

related data sets. Line 5 of each data file is a list of the column names, and line 6 and following lines

contain the actual data.

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)

The BOREAS TE-l team collected various data to characterize the soil-plant systems in the BOREAS

SSA. Particular emphasis was placed on nutrient biochemistry, the stores and transfers of organic

carbon, and how the characteristics were related to measured methane fluxes. The overall transect in

the Prince Albert National Park (Saskatchewan, Canada) included the major plant communities and

related soils that occurred in that section of the boreal forest. Soil physical, chemical, and biological

measurements along the transect were used to characterize the static environment, which allowed them

to be related to methane fluxes. Chamber techniques were used to provide a measure of methane

production/uptake. Chamber measurements coupled with flask sampling were used to determine the

seasonality of methane fluxes. This particular data set contains soil profile measurements of various

nutrients at the SSA-Fen site. The data were collected from 23-May to 21-Oct-1994. The data are

stored in tabular ASCII files.
