  • This data package contains data from natural rainfall-runoff plots installed on lands managed by the Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center (CDRRC) and the Jornada Experimental Range (JER) during the early years of Jornada Basin LTER (LTER-I and II). The purpose of this study was to analyze dissolved chemicals in surface runoff after precipitation events from creosotebush and grassland areas. In addition, some plots were treated with chlordane to remove termites. Nine hydrology runoff plots in the creosotebush sites (Larrea tridentata) were established in 1983 and 12 black grama (Bouteloua eriopoda) grassland runoff plots were established in 1989. Chemical analyses began in 1988 (1989 for grassland plots). Each plot was 2 × 2 square meters and surrounded on 3 sides by a metal frame. At the lower slope of the plot is a trough that collects the runoff for analysis. The data set includes the date of sampling, plot IDs, volume (L) of surface water runoff collected, and concentrations of F, Cl, NO3, SO4, NH4, Ca, Mg, Na, K, total N, and total P in mg/L. This study was completed in fall 1990.
