LOCATION: Coal Creek is a high-elevation headwater tributary to the Upper Colorado Basin located in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Coal Creek is also a sub-catchment of the larger East River watershed (300 km²) and falls within the research domain of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL). This is the Splains Conifer Granite site. The overlying vegetation is conifer, the underlying bedrock is granite, and the site is north-facing. It is also within the Splains Creek watershed, a subwatershed of Coal Creek. ABSTRACT: Soil data were collected within the Coal Creek watershed during summer 2021 (June–October) to examine groundwater chemistry. Sites are located in varying bedrock types (granite and sandstone) and vegetation types (aspen and conifer). The resource contains three components: SOIL SENSORS (CC_1-5_Sensors_Bixby): Soil sensors were installed in five different soil pits in Crested Butte. Sites are located in varying bedrock types (granite and sandstone) and vegetation types (aspen and conifer). Soil moisture and temperature data were collected every 30 minutes. Gas data were collected every hour. SOIL AUGER (CC_SoilAuger_Bixby): Soil data were collected from multiple auger sites. Sites are located in varying bedrock types (granite and sandstone) and vegetation types (aspen and conifer). SOIL PITS (CC_SoilPits_Bixby): Soil data were collected from five different soil pits. Sites are located in varying bedrock types (granite and sandstone) and vegetation types (aspen and conifer). Additional soil-pit images are included as CC_SoilPit_images_Bixby.
