Detailed surveys of stream nitrate concentrations in the calcium-enriched (W1), hydrologic reference (W3), and biogeochemical reference (W6) watersheds were performed in the summer of 2015 with the goal of identifying "hotspots" of NO3- inflows into streams.

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.
