Dataset of Observed Suspended Sediment and Particulate Organic Carbon Concentrations and Modeled Long-Term Suspended Sediment and Particulate Organic Carbon Yields (1994-2017) from the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed and Critical Zone Observatory in Southwestern Idaho, USA

Long‐term suspended sediment and particulate organic carbon yields from the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed and Critical Zone Observatory

“…Support for this research was provided by the National Science Foundation for RCEW‐CZO Cooperative agreement, EAR‐1331872 and USDA ARS Long‐term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR). Data are available at the BSU ScholarWorks (Glossner et al, 2021). Any use of trade, firm or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.…”

“…Fluxes were divided by catchment area (Table 1) to determine yields. We report yields rather than fluxes in this article, but fluxes are available in our published datasets (Glossner et al, 2021).…”

“…From the raw SS dataset, C-Q relationships were determined for each catchment over the full period of record. Log 10 SS was plotted against log 10 Q and fit with simple linear regression, and slopes of 1, 0, À1 are respectively representative of increased transport of the constituent with increasing Q, no change with Q, or dilution of the constituent with increasing Q (Godsey et al, 2009). The slope of the log 10 SSlog 10 Q relationship was then compared across catchments and years.…”

“…These relationships allow for the calculation and quantification of empirical erosional processes. For example, when C-Q relationships are plotted in a log domain, slopes of 1, 0, À1 are representative of increased transport of the constituent with increasing Q, no change with Q, or dilution of the constituent with increasing Q, respectively (Godsey et al, 2009).…”
