Past Methods (No longer in use)
- Stream sample sites and measurements
Started: 1997-04-12
Ended: 1997-11-02Stream sample sites -- Nettle Brook at 1620 and 1720' elevations and Stream 10 on CCC road at 2560'. Soil water and stream water samples collected after 5 storms. Twelve soil water collectors distributed in three areas (two at the O horizone and two at the B horizone per area). Stream samples collected near soil water collectors. Soil and stream water measurements include: total Hg, pH, conductivity, DOC and color, major ions (Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cl, NH4, NO3, SO4, and PO4.

Sampling Equipment
Equipment and software used to collect data, including how that equipment was used.
Current Equipment
Lysimeter
Zero-tension Lysimeter- collects solution that moves downward through the soil by force of gravity, often through micropores.
Fiberglass Wick Sampler
Fiberglass Wick Sampler- samples water and solutes moving through the unsaturated layers in soil by using fiberglass wicks to collect water by capillary action.
