Event runoff volume data and daily runoff data for the S2 and S6 catchments at the Marcell Experimental Forest

dataset

The data publication includes both estimated daily (2009-2015) and measured event (2009-2011) runoff volume data for both surface and subsurface plots in the S2 and S6 research catchments at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) in Balsam Township, Itasca County, Minnesota. Runoff measurements were made at runoff plots installed on north-facing (S2S and S6S collectors) and south-facing (S2N and S6N) hillslopes of the uplands of each catchment (Sebestyen et al. 2011).
Runoff volumes have been measured in the S2 and S6 catchments at the Marcell Experimental Forest as part of the monitoring in the long-term research program.
Additional information about the Marcell Experimental Forest, its instrumentation, and data can be found at https://www.nrs.fs.fed.us/ef/marcell/ and in Sebestyen et al. 2011.
