Project Title:  View help for Project Title Riparian soil carbon persistence and methane emissions data after stream restoration in northern New Mexico in 2021 and 2022
Summary:  View help for Summary This data package includes data assessing how stream restoration affects riparian soil processes in northern New Mexico. Streams in the Santa Fe National Forest were restored with Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs) in 2021 and streams in the Carson National Forest were restored with plug-and-ponds in 2022. We measured soil carbon (C) stocks, mineral associated organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, soil carbon isotopes, soil pH, soil moisture, and soil methane emissions from riparian soil collected from two stream reaches in each forest three years after the restoration treatments were implemented. We measured these same variables from two nearby unrestored stream reaches at the same time in each forest. At each stream reach, soil samples were collected from 1, 5, and 10 meters (m) from the stream along 6 transects within 100 m of the restoration structure.
