Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory

134-190 m elevation, 16 °C, 1250 mm/yr

The Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory is comprised of eight research areas in the Calhoun Experimental Forest and surrounding areas in the Sumter National Forest in upstate South Carolina, including the Holcombe's Branch watershed, experimental catchments, and space-for-time (paired hardwood-pine-cultivated field) plots. The areas were chosen primarily for their wealth of historical data giving researchers an ideal platform for testing hypotheses on how critical zones evolve in response to human forcings at the landscape scale.

One of four historic Calhoun experimental catchments, which were instrumented with precipitation and runoff gauges from the 1940s to 1960s. The catchment was severely eroded and gullied and has been reforested over the last half century. The archived hydrologic records and photographs have been stored in the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory data vault since 1962. Contemporary hydrologic responses of the catchments will be compared with the historical data.

Calhoun Pine Flux Tower

16 °C, 1250 mm/yr

In 2016 a 30 foot tall flux tower was installed in a young pine stand in research area 1. The heavily instrumented tower is complemented with gas well going down to 5-m below the soil surface.


Calhoun Long-Term Soil-Ecosystem Plots and Reference Areas

180-190 m elevation, 16 °C, 1250 mm/yr

The Calhoun LTSE has 16 permanent plots installed on the site of two former cotton fields planted to loblolly pine (P. taeda) in the winter of 1956-1957. From 1962 to present, the soil has been sampled to a depth of 60 cm approximately every 5 years. In 2007, 8 of the 16 plots were logged to initiate a new phase in the long-term experiment. Plot studies in the Calhoun CZO also include reference hardwoods, secondary pine, hay, and cultivated crops. Source: D. Richter, 2001.

Calhoun Experimental Forest and Eco-hydrology Experiments

134-157 m elevation, 16 °C, 1250 mm/yr

Three historic Calhoun experimental catchments are being re- and up-instrumented based on precipitation and runoff gauging from the 1940s to 1960s. The catchments were severely eroded and gullied and have been reforested over the last half century. The archived hydrologic records were stored in the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory data vault since 1962. Contemporary hydrologic responses of the catchments will be compared with those that are historic. The three experimental catchments reside within the much larger Holcombe's Branch, a tributary of the Tyger River. The Holcombe's Branch basin will be used to examine the erosion's interactions with soil carbon gains and losses.

Data Use Policy
Data Sharing Policy
  • Data Use Policy

    DRAFT v.0.4.0

    1. Use our data freely. All CZO Data Products* except those labelled Private** are released to the public and may be freely copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon under the condition that you give acknowledgement as described below. Non-CZO data products — like those produced by USGS or NOAA — have their own use policies, which should be followed.

    2. Give proper citation and acknowledgement. Publications, models and data products that make use of these datasets must include proper citation and acknowledgement. Most importantly, provide a citation in a similar way as a journal article (i.e. author, title, year of publication, name of CZO “publisher”, edition or version, and URL or DOI access information. See http://www.datacite.org/whycitedata). Also include at least a brief acknowledgement such as: “Data were provided by the NSF-supported Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory” (replace with the appropriate observatory name).

    3. Let us know how you will use the data. The dataset creators would appreciate hearing of any plans to use the dataset. Consider consultation or collaboration with dataset creators.

    *CZO Data Products.  Defined as a data collected with any monetary or logistical support from a CZO.

    **Private. Most private data will be released to the public within 1-2 years, with some exceptionally challenging datasets up to 4 years. To inquire about potential earlier use, please contact us.

  • Data Sharing Policy

    DRAFT v.0.2.5

    All CZO investigators and collaborators who receive material or logistical support from a CZO agree to:

    1. Share data privately within 1 year. CZO investigators and collaborators agree to provide CZO Data Products* — including data files and metadata for raw, quality controlled and/or derived data — to CZO data managers within one year of collection of samples, in situ or experimental data. By default, data values will be held in a Private CZO Repository**, but metadata will be made public and will provide full attribution to the Dataset Creators†.

    2. Release data to public within 2 years. CZO Dataset Creators will be encouraged after one year to release data for public access. Dataset Creators may chose to publish or release data sooner.

    3. Request, in writing, data privacy up to 4 years. CZO PIs will review short written applications to extend data privacy beyond 2 years and up to 4 years from time of collection. Extensions beyond 3 years should not be the norm, and will be granted only for compelling cases.

    4. Consult with creators of private CZO datasets prior to use. In order to enable the collaborative vision of the CZO program, data in private CZO repositories will be available to other investigators and collaborators within that CZO. Releasing or publishing any derivative of such private data without explicit consent from the dataset creators will be considered a serious scientific ethics violation.

    * CZO Data Products. Defined as data collected with any monetary or logistical support from a CZO. Logistical support includes the use of any CZO sensors, sampling infrastructure, equipment, vehicles, or labor from a supported investigator, student or staff person. CZO Data Products can acknowledge multiple additional sources of support.

    ** Private CZO Repository. Defined as a password-protected directory on each CZO’s data server. Files will be accessible by all investigators and collaborators within the given CZO and logins will be maintained by that local CZO’s data managers. Although data values will not be accessible by the public or ingested into any central data system (i.e. CUAHSI HIS), metadata will be fully discoverable by the public. This provides the dual benefit of giving attribution and credit to dataset creators and the CZO in general, while maintaining protection of intellectual property while publications are pending.

    † Dataset Creators. Defined as the people who are responsible for designing, collecting, analyzing and providing quality assurance for a dataset. The creators of a dataset are analogous to the authors of a publication, and datasets should be cited in an analogous manner following the emerging international guidelines described at http://www.datacite.org/whycitedata.
