Boston Area Deposition and Soil Solution Dataset

This environmental dataset details bulk deposition (in the open), throughfall (beneath tree canopy), and soil solution measurements of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and carbon (C) made from May to October of 2015 at nine locations across Metropolitan Boston. This dataset was constructed by Stephen Decina, Pamela Templer, and Lucy Hutyra of Boston University. Its construction was partially funded by the Boston Area Research Initiative’s Research Seed Grant program. Details on the preparation of these data and their analysis are available in the research article: Decina, Stephen M., Pamela H. Templar, and Lucy R. Hutyra. 2018. “Atmospheric Inputs of Nitrogen, Carbon, and Phosphorus across an Urban Area: Unaccounted Fluxes and Canopy Influences.” Earth’s Future, 6: 134-148, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017EF000653
