Abstract

This repository contains hydrologic data collected at the Fenton Tract Research Forest. The purpose of these data are to understand hydrologic flowpaths through forest soils and to study the impact of forest cover of local and regional hydrologic fluxes.

Isotope Meteorological Data
- Fenton Tract Isotopes: contains precipitation, groundwater, and stream isotopic measurements.

Hemlock Site
- Hemlock Site GW: 15-minute groundwater elevation data recorded in the riparian hemlock site adjacent to the Fenton River
- Hemlock Site Soil VWC: Soil volumetric water content measurements in the riparian hemlock site adjacent to the Fenton River
- Hemlock Site Soil Xylem Isotopes: 2H and 18O measurements of soil and xylem water isotopic ratios in the riparian hemlock site adjacent to the Fenton River
- Hemlock Site CVE: Cryogenic Vacuum Extraction notes for soil and xylem samples
- Hemlock tree core relative water content and turgid water contents for 2H correction
- Hemlock Site Root Profiles - three root profiles measured across the hemlock site
- Hemlock Site - tree characteristics (DBH, elevation, distance from stream, location)

Maple Sites (Sites A and B)
- tree heights and diameters from subplots
- root mass distribution
- Soil and xylem water isotopic compositions
- soil Volumetric Water Content (VWC)

Rehydration Experiment
- Tree core rehydration experimental results showing 2H and 18O enrichment during CVE using cores collected across the Fenton Tract

Xylem Water Isotopic Compositions - Time-of-Day Analysis
- Tree core xylem water isotopic compositions (2H and 18O) for oak and maple trees sampled in the AM and PM.

Forest Drought Water Use - Sites A, B and C
- 2H and 18O measurements of soil and xylem water isotopic ratios
- soil Volumetric Water Content (VWC)
- Whole tree transpiration (mm/day)
- Tree characteristics (DBH, Height, basal area)
