Hydrochemistry, carbon dynamics, and calculated pCO2 and CO2 fluxes, and soil-derived natural organic matter characteristics from the White Main, a granitic headwater stream in Germany, 2023-2024

This dataset contains hydrochemical and soil data collected along the first 1.3 km downstream of the White Main spring in northern Bavaria, Germany, from March 2023 to November 2024. Stream water samples were analyzed for in situ parameters, including discharge, water temperature [°C], pH [-], redox potential [mV], and electrical conductivity [µS/cm], as well as laboratory-measured parameters, including major ions and trace metals [mmol/l], alkalinity [mmol/l], dissolved inorganic and organic carbon concentrations (DIC, DOC [mmol/l]), and their stable isotope ratios (δ13CDIC/DOC [‰ VPDB]). In addition, calculated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2 [µatm]) and carbon dioxide fluxes (FCO2 [mmol m⁻² d⁻¹]) are provided for the stream water samples. The dataset also contains laboratory measurements related to soil-derived natural organic matter from acid and base extracts of soil samples, including zeta potential [mV], particle size distribution [%], ultraviolet-visible absorbance (UV-VIS), and fluorescence measurements. UV-VIS absorbance and fluorescence measurements were additionally performed on stream water samples. The datasets were collected to characterize hydrochemistry, carbon concentrations, carbon dioxide dynamics, and soil-derived organic matter properties in a granitic headwater stream and to provide a basis for reuse in studies of headwater biogeochemistry, carbon cycling, and soil-water interactions.

Field parameters and biochemical soil properties from NEP 1, NEP 2, NEP 3, Nördlingen, southern Germany

Soil physical-biogeochemical analyses were carried out on profiles NEP1, NEP2 and NEP3. Soil TC and TN were determined by CNS analysis, and total organic carbon (TOC) was determined by the difference between total inorganic carbon (TIC) and TC. Carbonate (CaCO₃) content was measured volumetrically using a Calcimeter and on air-dried, sieved (< 2 mm) and ground (ball mill) samples. The pH-values were measured on samples of profiles NEP1, NEP2, NEP3, which had less than 2% CaCO₃ content. Stable isotope ratios of δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N were analysed for the differentiation of C3 and C4 plants and the cultivation of legumes. The analyses were performed on air-dried, sieved (< 2mm) and ground (ball mill) samples. For ¹³C analysis, the soil samples were decarbonised with 10% HCl. In the field, separate samples were collected for the NEP1 and NEP2 profiles (28 samples in total) for analysis of urease activity and microbial biomass carbon (Cmic). Samples were stored at -18°C. Urease activity (enzyme analysis) is used to provide information on the input of urea and animal excrement. The mutual relationship between urease and Cmic was used to show and understand the past and present input of urea into the soil.

Wechselwirkungen zwischen saisonale arktische Meereisprozessen und Stabilität der Halokline – auf dem Weg zum Verständnis arktischer Gas- und Stoffflüsse

In Folge des globalen Klimawandels hat sich die Meereisdecke in der Arktis dramatisch verändert. Im derzeitigen Zustand spielt die arktische Eisdecke eine wichtige Rolle; so schirmt sie das Oberflächenwasser, die sogenannte arktische Halokline (Salzgehaltsschichtung), von der Erwärmung durch die sommerliche Sonneneinstrahlung ab. Zudem wird die Halokline durch die Salze, welches beim Gefrierprozess des Meerwassers aus der Kristallstruktur austritt, gebildet und stabilisiert. Gleichzeitig wirkt die Halokline als Barriere zwischen der Eisdecke und dem darunter liegenden warmen atlantischen Wasser und trägt so zum Erhalt der arktischen Meereisdecke bei. Dieses Gleichgewicht ist nun durch die insgesamt wesentlich dünnere arktische Meereisdecke und ihre verringerte sommerliche Ausdehnung gestört. Im Meerwasser sind zudem Gase und biogeochemisch wichtige Spurenstoffen enthalten. Diese werden durch die Gefrierprozesse eingeschlossen, beeinflusst und wieder ausgestoßen. So beeinflusst die Meereisdecke die Gas- und Stoffflüsse zwischen Atmosphäre, Eis und oberer Wasserschicht. Durch die Eisbewegung findet außerdem ein Transport statt z.B. in der sogenannten Transpolarendrift von den sibirischen Schelfgebieten, über den Nordpol, südwärts bis ins europäische Nordmeer. Nun wird mit den weitreichenden Veränderungen des globalen und arktischen Klimawandels bereits von der „neuen Arktis“ gesprochen, da angenommen wird, dass sich die Arktis bereits in einem neuen Funktionsmodus befindet. Dabei ist jedoch weitgehend unbekannt wie dieses neue System funktioniert, sich weiterentwickelt und wie sich dies auf die Eisbildungsprozesse und damit die Stabilität der Halokline und die damit verbundenen Gas- und Stoffflüsse auswirkt. Für solche Untersuchungen werden über den Jahresverlauf Proben der oberen Wassersäule und der Eisdecke benötigt. Ermöglicht wird dies durch die wissenschaftliche Initiative MOSAiC. Mithilfe der stabilen Isotope des Wassers (?18O und ?D) aus dem Eis und der Wassersäule kann Rückschlüsse auf die Herkunftswässer und den Gefrierprozess gezogen werden und diese Ergebnisse sollen in direkten Zusammenhang mit Gas- und biogeochemischen Stoffuntersuchungen (aus Partnerprojekten) gesetzt werden. Dabei können z.B. Stürme, Schmelzprozesse, Schneebedeckung, Teichbildung und Alterungseffekte des Eises eine Rolle spielen. Untersucht wird parallel die Veränderung der Wassersäule welche z.B. durch Wärmetransport, wiederum die Eisdecke beeinflussen kann.Diese prozessorientierten Untersuchungen der saisonalen Eisbildungsprozesse in Eis und Wassersäule der zentralen Arktis, werden einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Stabilität der arktischen Halokline und der arktischen Gas- und Stoffflüsse liefern. Da sich die Gase und Stoffe nicht-konservativ verhalten, während die Isotope im Gefrierprozess konservativ sind, erwarten wir aus der Diskrepanz wiederum wichtige Informationen z. B. über wiederholtes Einfrieren von Süßwasserbeimengungen ableiten zu können.

Geochemical parameters in peat depth profiles from ombrotrophic bogs in North and Central Europe. Fochteloër Veen, the Netherlands

This dataset contains geochemical variables measured in six depth profiles from ombrotrophic peatlands in North and Central Europe. Peat cores were taken during the spring and summer of 2022 from Amtsvenn (AV1), Germany; Drebbersches Moor (DM1), Germany; Fochteloër Veen (FV1), the Netherlands; Bagno Kusowo (KR1), Poland; Pichlmaier Moor (PI1), Austria and Pürgschachen Moor (PM1), Austria. The cores AV1, DM1 and KR1 were taken using a Wardenaar sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands) and had diameter of 10 cm. The cores FV1, PM1 and PI1 had an 8 cm diameter and were obtained using an Instorf sampler (Royal Eijkelkamp, Giesbeek, the Netherlands). The cores FV1, DM1 and KR1 were 100 cm, core AV1 was 95 cm, core PI1 was 85 cm and core PM1 was 200 cm. The cores were subsampeled in 1 cm (AV1, DM1, KR1, FV1) and 2 cm (PI1, PM1) sections. The subsamples were milled after freeze drying in a ballmill using tungen carbide accesoires. X-Ray Fluorescence (WD-XRF; ZSX Primus II, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) was used to determine Al (μg g-1), As (μg g-1), Ba (μg g-1), Br (μg g-1), Ca (g g-1), Cl (μg g-1), Cr (μg g-1), Cu (μg g-1), Fe (g g-1), K (g g-1), Mg (μg g-1), Mn (μg g-1), Na (μg g-1), P (μg g-1), Pb (μg g-1), Rb (μg g-1), S (μg g-1), Si (μg g-1), Sr (μg g-1), Ti (μg g-1) and Zn (μg g-1). These data were processed and calibrated using the iloekxrf package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024) in R. C, N and their stable isotopes were determined using an elemental analyser linked to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-3000, Eurovector, Pavia, Italy & Nu Horizon, Nu Instruments, Wrexham, UK). C and N were given in units g g-1 and stable isotopes were given as δ13C and δ15N for stable isotopes of C and N, respectively. Raw data C, N and stable isotope data were calibrated with certified standard and blank effects were corrected with the ilokeirms package (Teickner & Knorr, 2024). Using Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR) (Agilent Cary 670 FTIR spectromter, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, Ca, USA) humification indices (HI) were determined. Spectra were recorded from 600 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 with a resolution of 2 cm-1 and baselines corrected with the ir package (Teickner, 2025) to estimate relative peack heights. The HI (no unit) for each sample was calculated by taking the ratio of intensities at 1630 cm-1 to the intensities at 1090 cm-1. Bulk densities (g cm-3) were estimated from FT-MIR data (Teickner et al., in preparation).

Seasonal Dataset of DIC, δ13CDIC, DOC, δ13CDOC, pCO2(aq), FCO2 and Biogeochemical Parameters in the Danube River (2023–2024)

This dataset contains dissolved inorganic/organic carbon (DIC/DOC) concentrations, its stable isotope ratios (δ13CDIC/DOC), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the water column pCO₂(aq) (pCO2(aq)) and area-integrated CO₂ emission rates derived from flux calculations (FCO2; g C d⁻¹), along with corresponding parameters (temperature, pH, calcium, bicarbonate) collected from the Danube River and its key tributaries during five seasonal sampling campaigns in 2023 and 2024. Water samples were collected using a weighted 2 L sampling bottle submerged 1–2 meters below the surface, with sampling conducted from the river center via bridges or passenger boats, and occasionally from the riverbank. In situ temperature measurements were taken with a multiparameter instrument (HQ40d, HACH™, Loveland, CO, USA). δ13ODIC/DOC was analyzed using a OI Analytical Aurora 1030W-IRMS. This dataset is providing valuable insights into carbon dynamics in a large river system and support investigations of biogeochemical cycling. It further can inform ecosystem management and conservation strategies under changing environmental conditions.

Absolute abundances of methane- and sulfate-cycling microorganisms, pore water gas concentrations and stable carbon isotopes (Table 1)

Soil cores for microbial, dissolved gas concentrations and isotopic analysis were taken using a Russian type peat corer (De Vleeschouwer et al. 2010) before and after rewetting. Each time, we took duplicates at stations 1-8 for this rather labor-intensive process and divided the core into four depth sections: surface, 5–20, 20–40 and 40–50 cm. Subsamples for dissolved gases and stable carbon isotope analyses were taken with tip-cut syringes with a distinct volume of 3 ml (Omnifix, Braun, Bad Arolsen, Germany) and immediately placed into NaCl-saturated vials (20 ml, Agilent Technologies, 5182-0837, Santa Clara, USA) leaving no headspace and closed gas-tight using rubber stoppers and metal crimpers (both: diameter 20 mm, Glasgerätebau Ochs, Bovenden, Germany).

Biogeochemical Processes in Tropical Soils

In recent years science has taken an increased interest in mineralization processes in tropical soils in particular under minimal tillage operations. Plant litter quality and management strongly affect mineralization-nitrification processes in soil and hence the fate of nitrogen in ecosystems and the environment. Plant secondary metabolites like lignin and polyphenols are poorly degradable and interact with proteins (protein binding capacity) and hence protect them from microbial attack. Nitrification, a microbiological process, directly and indirectly influences the efficiency of recovery of N in the vegetation as well as the loss of N (through denitrification and leaching) causing environmental pollution to water bodies and contributes to global warming (e.g. the greenhouse gas N2O is emitted as a by-product of nitrification and denitrification). Nitrifiers comprise a relatively narrow species diversity (at least as known to date) and are generally thought to be sensitive to low soil pH and stress. Despite these properties nitrification occurs in acid tropical soils with high levels of aluminium and manganese. Thus the main objective of the project will be the identification of micro-organisms and mechanisms responsible for mineralization-nitrification processes in acid tropical soils and the influence of long-term litter input of different chemical qualities and minimal tillage options. The project will include the use of stable isotopes (15N, 13C), mass spectrometry, gas chromatography (CO2, N2O), biochemical methods (PLFA) and molecular biology (16s rRNA., PCR, DGGE)
