Workshop participants proposed common measurements needed for Critical Zone Sites. This and other meeting results can be found on the Critical Zone Exploration Network website (http://www.czen.org/17Sep07_results).
Site information- Landform type or position
- Parent material type (e.g., alluvial, bedrock)
- Latitude, Longitude
- Drainage/drainage characteristics
- Slope
- Aspect
- Land use
- Precipitation flux
- Precipitation chemistry
- Air temperature
- Solar radiation
- Aerosol flux and chemistry
- Relative humidity
- Wind speed
- Bulk density
- Soil chemistry (down to bedrock)
- Soil mineralogy
- Bedrock chemistry and mineralogy
- Grain size
- Organic content
- Soil description including taxa
- Cation exchange capacity
- Soil moisture
- Soil temperature
- Carbon fractions
- Cosmogenic age dates
- Depth to bedrock
Metadata for soil characterization: Analysis company; Analysis technique; Date of analysis; Sample preparation; Grain size that was analyzed; Ash basis or otherwise
Soil porefluids- Soil water potential
- Soil porewater chemistry
- Soil gas chemistry (O2,CO2)
- Streamwater flux and chemistry
- pH
- major elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Si)
- Ti
- Alkalinity
- Nutrients
- Groundwater chemistry
- O isotope concentration
- Dissolved organic carbon
- Chemistry
- Flux
- Net Primary Productivity
- Litterfall
- Litter chemistry
- Dendrochronology
- Dendrochemistry
- Microbial biomass
- Fungi-bacteria ratios
- Above- and below-ground biomass
- Loss on ignition
Note: Water, soil, and gas sampling need to be coupled spatially and temporally
