BCCZO -- Precipitation -- Water Chemistry (BT-GGU_P_Canopy-Open) -- Betasso & Gordon Gulch -- (2011-2019)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

Precipitation samples were collected within the Boulder Creek Watershed at Betasso and Gordon Gulch from 2011 to current. Precipitation samples were collected as rain water, from both open and canopied locations, and as snow from designated snow sampling locations. Samples were filtered by Boulder Creek CZO Water Chemistry Lab with 0.45µm and 1µm filters. Samples were analyzed for conductivity, major ions, alkalinity, nutrients and organics, and water isotopes. Major ions analyzed included H+, Ca+, K+, Mg2+, Na+, NH4+, Cl-, NO3-, SO4-, Si, and SiO2. Nutrients and organics analyzed mainly included DOC, TDN, IP, DOP, and TDP. Water isotopes analyzed included O18 and D.

METHODS: Starting in 2011, Betasso and Gordon Gulch precipitation samples were analyzed by the Kiowa Laboratory (conductivity, alkalinity, cations, anions, O18, deuterium, and tritium) and by the Organic Matter Spectroscopy Laboratory (nutrients and organics). From 2011 to present, Betasso and Gordon Gulch precipitation water samples were analyzed by the Boulder Creek CZO Lab (conductivity, alkalinity, and anions), the Organic Matter Spectroscopy Laboratory (nutrients and organics), the Laboratory for Environmental and Geological Sciences (cations), and the Barnard Ecohydrology Lab (O18 and deuterium).
