RiverMET: Workflow and scripts for river metabolism estimation including Illinois River Basin application, 2005 - 2020

Ecosystem metabolism is a measure of energy flow in terrestrial and aquatic environments that quantifies a balance between the rate of biomass production by photosynthesizing plants and the rate of biomass oxidation by respiring plants and animals to maintain and build living biomass. It is therefore a fundamental measure of ecosystem function that quantifies the balance between the rate of production, maintenance, and decay of organic matter. It also provides an understanding of energy flow to higher trophic levels that supports food webs with secondary and tertiary productivity. Furthermore, metabolism helps explain when aquatic ecosystems undergo out-of-balance behaviors such as hypoxia. Recent advances in sensor...

Modeled Stream Metabolism in Boulder Creek near Boulder, CO (2016 - 2018)

Note: This data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9A4FVZ4. The data presented here was collected adjacent to USGS stream gage 06730200 and includes both observed and modeled values. Dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, stream depth, water temperature, and light intensity were collected via passive water quality sensors. Modeled values include gross primary production, ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem production, reaeration, and light (when observed values were unavailable). Modeled values were obtained through streamMetabolizer, a USGS-sponsored R-package for estimating rates of stream metabolism. Estimates for carbon dioxide flux utilized both modeled...

Modeled Stream Metabolism in Boulder Creek near Boulder, CO (2016 - 2018)

This data release is associated with a journal article titled, "Aquatic-Terrestrial Linkages Control Metabolism and Carbon Dynamics in a Mid-sized, Urban Stream Influenced by Snowmelt." The data were collected adjacent to USGS stream gage 06730200 and include observed and modeled values. Dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, stream depth, water temperature, and light intensity were collected via passive water quality sensors. Modeled values include gross primary production, ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem production, reaeration, and light (when observed values were unavailable). Modeled values were obtained through streamMetabolizer, a USGS-sponsored R-package for estimating rates of stream metabolism....

Stream Metabolism Estimated from Dissolved Oxygen Data in Connecticut streams, 2015-18

This dataset provides details from stream metabolism models for 11 stream sites in Connecticut that were monitored during 2015 to 2018 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Metabolism was estimated at each site using the streamMetabolizer package in the R computing environment. When data were collected for multiple years at a site, stream metabolism was separately estimated for each year. For each site-year combination, three files are provided: (1) the input data file, which includes continuous dissolved oxygen, solar time, water temperature, light, and stream depth, (2) the output data file, containing the daily metabolism estimates, and (3) a site-specific html file that serves as a guide for running the streamMetabolizer...
