Small coastal watersheds (< 10,000 km2) can play a large role in forming biogeochemical linkages between land and sea, yet the spatial heterogeneity of small watershed ecosystems is poorly understood due to sparse observations many regions. In this study, we examined water quality exported from diverse two rainforest fjordland complexes. Samples were collected about monthly for year outlets 56 spanning high mountains low islands. Many (20) properties varied significantly across six...
Abstract In the discontinuous permafrost zone of Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, snow covers ground surface for half year. Snowmelt constitutes a primary source moisture supply short growing season and strongly influences stream hydrographs. Permafrost thaw has changed landscape by increasing proportional coverage permafrost‐free wetlands at expense permafrost‐cored peat plateau forests. The biophysical characteristics each feature affect water equivalent (SWE) accumulation melt rates....
Abstract The Kwakshua Watersheds Observatory (KWO) is an integrative watersheds observatory on the coastal margin of a rain‐dominated bog‐forest landscape in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Established 2013, goal KWO to understand and model flux terrestrial materials from land sea – origins, pathways, processes ecosystem consequences context long‐term environmental change. consists seven gauged network observation sites spanning along drainage gradients within catchments. Time‐series datasets...
Abstract. Hydrometeorological observations of small watersheds the northeast Pacific coastal temperate rainforest (NPCTR) North America are important to understand land ocean ecological connections and provide scientific basis for regional environmental management decisions. The Hakai Institute operates a densely networked long-term hydrometeorological monitoring observatory that fills spatial data gap in remote sparsely gauged outer coast NPCTR. Here we present first 5 water years (October...
