MacroSheds: a synthesis of long-term biogeochemical, hydroclimatic, and geospatial data from small watershed ecosystem studies

DOI PLACE HOLDER

Abstract:

There exist hundreds of long-term watershed ecosystem monitoring efforts from which solute fluxes can be calculated. While details of instrumentation and sampling methods vary between studies, the types of data collected and the questions that motivate their analysis are often remarkably similar. Nevertheless, little effort toward the compilation of these datasets has previously been made, and comparative watershed analyses have remained limited in scale. The MacroSheds project has developed a flexible, future-friendly system for continually harmonizing daily time series of streamflow, precipitation, and solute chemistry from 168+ watershed studies throughout the U.S. and beyond, and supplementing each with a comprehensive set of predictive watershed attributes. The MacroSheds dataset is an unprecedented resource for watershed ecosystem science, and for hydrology, as a small-watershed supplement to existing collections of streamflow predictors, like CAMELS and GAGES-II. Macrosheds is accompanied by a web dashboard for visualization (macrosheds.org) and an R package (https://github.com/MacroSHEDS/macrosheds) for local analysis.

For MacroSheds processing methods, see the <a href="https://eartharxiv.org/repository/view/3499/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">data paper preprint</a>, where you will find subheadings on time-series data processing, watershed attributes retrieval and processing, derivation of additional products, and technical validation. For field data collection methods, laboratory methods and protocols, and primary source quality control procedures, consult primary source documentation. Links can be found in `attribution_and_intellectual_rights_ws_attr.csv` and `attribution_and_intellectual_rights_ts.xlsx`. --- The subset of MacroSheds that relates to streamflow and climate forcings makes it a valuable supplement to existing datasets like <a href="https://ral.ucar.edu/solutions/products/camels" style="color: vlue; text-decoration: underline;">CAMELS</a> (Newman et al. 2014) and <a href="https://water.usgs.gov/GIS/metadata/usgswrd/XML/gagesII_Sept2011.xml" style="color: vlue; text-decoration: underline;">GAGES-II</a> (Falcone 2011). Using CAMELS methods, we have compiled watershed attributes and Daymet forcings, for each MacroSheds site, that are commensurable with the published CAMELS dataset, enhancing the predictive power of the combined set, especially for small watersheds. Of the 181 sites with discharge data that MacroSheds adds to this corpus (as of version 1), 122 have watershed areas of 10 km2 or less, and 68 have areas of 1 km2 or less. For CAMELS, these numbers are 8 and 0, respectively. For GAGES-II, they are 207 and 2 (see Figure 2 in the MacroSheds data paper). Please note that we used gSSURGO (Soil Survey Staff 2022) instead of the superseded STATSGO dataset for soil characteristics. Two other CAMELS watershed attributes, `pet_mean` (mean potential evapotranspiration) and aridity, were also computed differently for MacroSheds watersheds. For these, we solved the Priestly-Taylor formulation by using a gridded _alpha_ product (Aschonitis et al. 2017), rather than calibrating _alpha_ ourselves. In addition to the pet\_mean watershed summary variable in `CAMELS_compliant_ws_attr_summaries.csv`, we have included timeseries of pet in `CAMELS_compliant_Daymet_forcings.csv`, though pet is not a Daymet variable per se. Hydrologic attributes (q\_mean, runoff\_ratio, stream\_elas, slope\_fdc, baseflow\_index\_landson, hfd\_mean, Q5, Q95, high\_q\_freq, high\_q\_dur, low\_q\_freq, low\_q\_dur, zero\_q\_freq) were only computed for site-years with >= 85% temporal coverage (i.e. with a measurement or estimate of Q and or P on at least 85% of days), except for polar/arid sites at which full years of flow are never recorded. At these sites, >= 50% maximum coverage (i.e. at least half the number of days as the most complete year ever recorded) were required. The following CAMELS watershed attributes are not included in the MacroSheds dataset, but see related or analogous variables (listed in parentheses) in `ws_attr_timeseries.csv`: 1. lai\_max (vb\_lai\_median) 1. lai\_diff 1. gvf\_max (vb\_fpar\_median, vb\_ndvi\_median) 1. gvf\_diff 1. soil\_porosity (pm\_sub\_surf\_porosity\_mean) 1. soil\_conductivity (pf\_soil\_cat\_exchange\_7) 1. max\_water\_content 1. water\_frac (pf\_soil\_water\_0bar, pf\_soil\_water\_0.1bar pf\_soil\_water\_0.33bar, pf\_soil\_water\_15bar) 1. other\_frac --- + Aschonitis, VG et al.
