Denitrification is potentially a significant process of soil nitrogen removal from the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (HBEF) ecosystem. Its magnitude and variation can depend on physical conditions within the soil, particularly oxygen concentration, moisture, and temperature. This dataset contains continuous measurement of soil oxygen, moisture and temperature near the biogeochemical reference Watershed 6 at (HBEF). Data were collected from Campbell Scientific CR1000 dataloggers with sensors installed at 3 depths, each at a soil horizon transition and at an hourly time interval. The timeframe of the dataset is 1 year starting in July 2018 and ending in July 2019.
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 USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
