Abstract
Abstract. A comprehensive set of measurements and calculated metrics describing physical, chemical, and biological conditions in the river corridor is presented. These data were collected in a catchment-wide, synoptic campaign in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest (Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA) in summer 2016 during low-discharge conditions. Extensive characterization of 62 sites including surface water, hyporheic water, and streambed sediment was conducted spanning 1st- through 5th-order reaches in the river network. The objective of the sample design and data acquisition was to generate a novel data set to support scaling of river corridor processes across varying flows and morphologic forms present in a river network. The data are available at https://doi.org/10.4211/hs.f4484e0703f743c696c2e1f209abb842 (Ward, 2019).
Highlights
River corridor science is the study of the exchange of water, solutes, particulate matter, energy, and biota between surface and subsurface domains, collectively called river corridor exchange (e.g., Brunke and Gonser, 1997; Boulton et al, 1998; Harvey and Gooseff, 2015; Tonina and Buffington, 2009; Krause et al, 2011, 2017)
Lower elevations are typically underlain by thermally weakened upper Oligocene– lower Miocene basaltic flows. These landforms are typified by highly dissected landscapes resulting from rapidly incising V-shaped valleys that are steep and narrow, with colluvium emplaced by high-energy hillslope failures and debris flows
We performed electrospray ionization (ESI) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS) using a 12 Tesla Bruker solariX FT-ICR-MS instrument located at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) in Richland, WA, USA
Summary
River corridor science is the study of the exchange of water, solutes, particulate matter, energy, and biota between surface and subsurface domains, collectively called river corridor exchange (e.g., Brunke and Gonser, 1997; Boulton et al, 1998; Harvey and Gooseff, 2015; Tonina and Buffington, 2009; Krause et al, 2011, 2017). The studies cited above primarily focus on spatial patterns in stream water chemistry with limited characterization of biological and physical dimensions of the river corridor. These studies are almost exclusively focused on measurements in the surface water domain rather than explicitly considering hyporheic waters and the streambed sediments themselves.
