Abstract
This resource includes Stream Temperature, Intermittency, and Conductivity (STIC) data collected from Youngmeyer Ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas. These data were collected in support of the sampling goals of the Aquatic Intermittency effects on Microbiomes in Streams (AIMS) project. These sensors were set to collect temperature and conductivity data every 15 minutes starting in May 2021 through November 2024, and raw conductivity data were used to classify the timeseries into wet or dry readings at each timestep following the approach described in Zipper et al., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2025.106484
Each .csv file is associated with a single site and year. Also included is a README that includes author information, column descriptions, and site locations.
Youngmeyer Ranch is located in Elk County, KS (outlet location: 37.56442, -96.49106) and managed by Wichita State University and owned by the Youngmeyer Trust. The ranch is roughly 1902 ha of grassland prairie used predominantly for cattle grazing and is burned every 1-2 years. A tributary of the Elk River, specifically the south branch of the Elk River headwaters, elevation at Youngmeyer ranges from 373-488 m with mean annual temperature of 13.7°C and mean annual precipitation of 979mm. This site is geologically constructed of Permian age limestone and shale with layers of chert below silty clay loam soils (Houseman et al. 2016). This site is predominantly grassland composed of the same dominant grasses as Konza Prairie, with scattered black oaks (Q. veluntina) along the creeks (Houseman et al. 2016).
