Sources of fine-grained sediment in the Linganore Creek Watershed, Frederick and Carroll Counties, Maryland, 2008-2010
This dataset provides physical and chemical data for a sediment-fingerprinting study conducted in the upper parts of the Linganore Creek watershed in an effort to quantify and determine the sources of fine-grained sediments eroded from and deposited on streambanks, flood plains, channel beds, and agricultural and forested uplands. Data were collected from August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. Chemical data include median particle size, total organic carbon (C) and total nitrogen (N), and concentrations for 19 elements. Physical data includes upstream drainage area from sampling location as well as land-use type.
