Our objective is to improve the scientific understanding of the modes, rates, and mechanisms of carbon stabilization and losses in soils from Alaska, California, and other Western states. We focus on the biophysical and microbial mechanisms that drive carbon gains and losses, and to use our data to improve models of soil carbon cycling. This catalog supports research from several projects focused on soil carbon cycling. It encompasses multiple types of datasets including environmental, ecological, biological, isotopic, mineralogical, genomic, flux, and modeled data from water, vegetation, soil, and atmospheric matrices. The catalog will be available online and to the public. Therefore, publication of data through...
Early studies of soil formation highlighted several key factors that together determine the degree of soil pedogenesis, which include climate, organisms (including vegetation), topography, and parent material (Jenny H.; 1941; Factors of Soil Formation, a System of Quantitative Pedology; https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj1941.00021962003300090016x). A soil chronosequence is defined as a series of soils in which all soil-forming factors except time are similar, where time is represented by soil or landform age. In 1978, the late Denis Marchand launched a project to identify, sample, and analyze soil profiles from seven soil chronosequences in the Western United States. The resulting datasets were compiled as part of a...

Geophysical measurements and related field data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) site in Interior Alaska from 2018 to 2020 to characterize subsurface thermal and hydrologic conditions along a permafrost thaw gradient. The APEX site is managed by the Bonanza Creek LTER (Long Term Ecological Research). In July 2018, soil temperature and moisture sensors were installed at six out of the nine instrument locations (APEX1, APEX2, APEX3, APEX4, APEX7, APEX9). Thermistors (PS103J2, US Sensor, Orange, CA, USA) were placed at depths of 5, 30, 60, 120, and 180 centimeters (cm) with three replicates. Three sites (APEX1, APEX4, APEX9) contained an additional single...

In July 1992 soils were sampled from six dune fields in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan near Wilderness State Park, about 10 miles southwest of Mackinaw City. The dune fields represent a soil chronosequence, where all soil forming factors except time are held constant (climate, organisms, relief, and parent material). These sandy lake terrace soils are Entisols and Spodosols (Podzols), with ages ranging from 3,000 to 11,000 years. The samples were collected to examine podzolization and associated changes in soil properties. Samples collected for this study were assigned categorical profile and layer level descriptions for observable qualities such as soil color, structure, and texture at the time of collection....
Geophysical measurements and related field data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) site in Interior Alaska from 2018 to 2020 to characterize subsurface thermal and hydrologic conditions along a permafrost thaw gradient. The APEX site is managed by the Bonanza Creek LTER (Long Term Ecological Research). Nine instrument sites were established in April 2018, seven of which were given a borehole approximately 2.3 meters (m) deep for repeat nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging to quantify unfrozen water content and soil properties in the near surface. NMR data were collected from each borehole a total of ten times between April 2018 and October 2020, at a...

Geophysical measurements and related field data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) site in Interior Alaska from 2018 to 2020 to characterize subsurface thermal and hydrologic conditions along a permafrost thaw gradient. The APEX site is managed by the Bonanza Creek LTER (Long Term Ecological Research). Nine instrument sites were established in April 2018 and initially comprised a buried seismic station for continuous passive recording of the seismic wavefield, and seven of the nine sites were given a borehole for repeat nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging. Between June 2018 and September 2019, measurements of active-layer thaw depth were regularly recorded...

Geophysical measurements and related field data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) site in Interior Alaska from 2018 to 2020 to characterize subsurface thermal and hydrologic conditions along a permafrost thaw gradient. The APEX site is managed by the Bonanza Creek LTER (Long Term Ecological Research). In April 2018, seven boreholes were emplaced to depths of 2.3-2.5 meters (m) to allow for repeat logging with downhole nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to quantify the spatial and temporal variations in unfrozen water content within active-layer and permafrost soils. NMR data were collected on ten separate occasions between April 2018 and October 2020. In June...

We quantified permafrost plateau carbon (C) and post-thaw C stocks across a peatland permafrost thaw chronosequence in Interior Alaska to evaluate whether C losses occurred with thaw . Peat core macrofossil reconstructions revealed three stratigraphic layers of peat: (1) a base layer of fen/marsh peat, (2) forested permafrost plateau peat and, (3) where permafrost thaw has occurred, collapse-scar bog peat. Radiocarbon dating revealed that peat initiated at all sites within the last 2,500 years, and dating transitions between stratigraphic layers allowed us to determine that permafrost aggraded during the Little Ice Age and degraded within the last several decades. We found the timing of permafrost thaw within each...
Boreal ecosystems comprise about one tenth of the world’s land surface and contain over 20 % of the global soil carbon (C) stocks. Boreal soils are unique in that the mineral soil is covered by what can be quite thick layers of organic soil. These organic soil layers, or horizons, can differ in their state of decomposition, source vegetation, and disturbance history. These differences result in varying soil properties (bulk density, C content, and nitrogen (N) content) among soil horizons. These data were used in a manuscript (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2019-114) where these soil properties, as represented by over 3000 samples from Interior Alaska, were summarized. We also examined how soil drainage and stand...

Geophysical measurements and related field data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at the Alaska Peatland Experiment (APEX) site in Interior Alaska from 2018 to 2020 to characterize subsurface thermal and hydrologic conditions along a permafrost thaw gradient. The APEX site is managed by the Bonanza Creek LTER (Long Term Ecological Research). Nine instrument monitoring sites (APEX1-APEX9) were established in April 2018. To quantify permafrost and thaw zone characteristics along the instrumented gradient, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data were collected in August 2018 along four 82 meter (m)-long transects between select sites: APEX1-3, APEX5-3, APEX5-7, and APEX6-8. Data were collected...
