  • Hubbard Brook Watershed Ecosystem Record (HBWatER). 2021. Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Chemistry of Precipitation – Monthly Fluxes, Watershed 1, 1963 - present ver 11. Environmental Data Initiative. https://doi.org/DOI_PLACE_HOLDER (Accessed 2024-12-29).

  • These data are monthly fluxes of solutes in precipitation measured in Watershed 1 at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. The solute fluxes in precipitation are calculated as the product of the volume of precipitation and solute concentrations. There are nine gaged watersheds at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, some of which have been subjected to experimental manipulations. Watershed 1 was amended with wollastonite (CaSiO3) in November 1999 to replace the calcium that has been depleted from soil due to inputs of acid rain.

    The calculation of fluxes is currently supervised by John Campbell (US Forest Service). The long-term precipitation record is collected and maintained by the US Forest Service. The collection and management of the long-term chemistry record is currently supervised by Emma Rosi (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies) and Emily Bernhardt (Duke University). At present, field samples are collected by Tammy Wooster (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies), chemical analyses are performed by Jeff Merriam (US Forest Service). Data management and archiving is performed by Mary Martin (University of New Hampshire).

    Precipitation flux data are provided as part of HBWatER, which is a long-term record of stream and precipitation chemistry and volume. Currently, this record is supported by NSF LTREB funding (for sample collection and processing), US Forest Service funding (for maintenance of precipitation gauges, analytical chemistry and sample archiving), and LTER (for disposable supplies). The HBWatER supervisory team currently includes Emma Rosi (Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies), Emily Bernhardt (Duke University), John Campbell (US Forest Service), Charley Driscoll (Syracuse University), Mark Green (Case Western Reserve University), Bill McDowell (University of New Hampshire), and Lindsey Rustad (US Forest Service).

    These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the US Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
