Abstract:

This dataset contains solute concentrations and stable isotope abundance for waters collected at French, Moose, Stuart, Vault and Poker Creeks near Fairbanks, Alaska. In addition to stream water, the dataset includes water samples collected from possible water sources to these streams, including precipitation, snow, soil water, springs, groundwater and other water bodies. Solutes include major anions and cations, dissolved organic carbon, total dissolved nitrogen, and total dissolved phosphorus. Isotope ratios for deuterium and 18O-water and 15N and 18O-nitrate are available at lower temporal frequency.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Experimental Design

The dataset includes five boreal catchments.

Methods

FIELD: Water samples were collected as grab samples and filtered in the field (0.45 or 0.7 um) or collected by an autosampler and retrieved approximately every 1-2 weeks. LAB: Anions and cations were analyzed using an ion chromatograph (ICS-2100, Thermo Scientific) equipped with AC-11 and CS-16 columns, respectivly. Dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen were analyzed using a Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOC-L, Shimadzu). Total dissolved phosphorus was analyzed colorimetrically using the molybdate blue method on a Smartchem autoanalyzer after acid persulfate digestion. Hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios of water were analyzed using a Picarro L2120-i analyzer. Isotopes of nitrate were measured using the denitrifier method at the Stable Isotope Facility, UC Davis. Data below instrument limit of quatification (LOQ) for each analyte were replaced by values halfway between the LOQ and zero. The LOQs are 0.097 mg/L DOC, 0.018 mg/L TDN, 0.020 uM TDP, 0.065 uM fluoride, 0.198 uM chloride, 0.388 uM for sulfate, 0.275 uM bromide, uM 0.065 nitrate, 0.227 uM sodium, 0.612 uM ammonium, 0.147 uM potassium, 0.098 uM magnesium, and 0.471 uM calcium.
