Abstract:

Weekly time series of measured electrical conductivity and pH values in litter leachate in the microcatchment Q2 (transects Q2.1, Q2.2 and Q2.3). The time series extends between MArch 1998 and December 2016. Litter leachate was sampled on the three transects with zero-tension lysimeters below the organic layer. On each transect 3 replicates at upper, middle and lower slope positions were collected, volume-weighted and bulked to one sample per plot and collecting interval. Electrical conductivity and pH values were measured immediately in unfiltered aliquots in the laboratory of the ECSF.

Abstract:

Monthly aggregated time series of measured concentrations of Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, C, N, S, P, K, Na, Mg, Ca in litterfall in the ECSF area in the microcatchment Q2. Litterfall was sampled weekly on the 3 transects of Q2 (Q2.1, Q2.2, Q2.3) with 3 polyethylene mesh collectors (0.5 x 0.5 m) per transect. The samples were dried at 40 °C for one week and stored at the ECSF until transport to Germany or Switzerland for chemical analyses. The replicates at upper, middle and lower slope were bulked per transect and collecting interval and the results were subsequently aggregated per month and transect. Samples were ground to <50 µm with a planetary ball mill (Retsch PM200, Haan, Germany) prior to elemental analysis of C, N, and S by thermal combustion (Elementar Analysensysteme, Hanau, Germany) and acid microwave digestion with concentrated HNO3. Element concentrations in the digested samples were measured by AAS, ICP-OES or ICP-MS.

Abstract:

Weekly time series of measured concentrations of Al, Mn, Zn, Cl, PO4-P, Total P, NH4-N, NO3-N, Total N, S, K, Na, Mg, Ca and Total organic C in soil solution (at 15 cm mineral soil depth) in the ECSF area in the microcatchment Q2 (transects Q2.1, Q2.2 and Q2.3). The weekly time series extends between May 2000 and May 2013. Soil solution was sampled on the 3 transects of Q2 with ceramic suction cups having a pore size of 1 µm installed at 15 cm depth in the mineral soil. On each transect 3 replicates were collected and bulked to one sample per plot and collection interval. Samples were immediately stored at -20 °C until transport in frozen state to Germany or to Switzerland for concentration measurements.

Abstract:

Weekly time series of water fluxes, pH, electrical conductivity and measured concentrations of Al, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cl, PO4-P, Total P, NH4-N, NO3-N, Total N, S, K, Na, Mg, Ca and Total organic C in stream water in the ECSF area in the microcatchment Q2. The weekly time series extends between March 1998 and December 2016. Stream water was sampled weekly upstream of the weir in Q2.1. Samples were immediately filtered (4-7 µm) in the laboratory of the ECSF and stored at -20 °C until transport in frozen state to Germany or to Switzerland for concentration measurements.

Abstract:

Monthly mean nutrient and element concentrations in stem flow from Q2. The monthly values were calculated from weekly measurements. Stem flow was collected from 5 trees in Q2. A list of tree species and tree properties can be found in Fleischbein et al. (2005, Hydrological Processes).

Abstract:

Monthly mean nutrient and element concentrations in soil solution and monthly sum of litterfall from Q2.1. Soil solution was sampled from below the organic layer (lysimeter), 15cm and 30cm depth. Monthly means were calculated from weekly measurements. The measured nutrients and elements comprise: pH, PO4-P, Ptot, Cl, NH4-N, NO3-N, Ntot, DOC, Ca, K, Mg, Na.

Abstract:

Weekly time series of throughfall data from the ECSF area in the microcatchment Q2 (transects Q2.1, Q2.2 and Q2.3). Throughfall was measured weekly with 20 Hellmann-type pluviometers at each transect. The weekly replicates were volume-weighted and bulked to one sample per collecting interval and transect. Electrical conductivity and pH values were measured immediately in unfiltered aliquots in the laboratory at the ECSF.
