Abstract

Stream metabolism, encompassing gross primary production and ecosystem respiration, reflects the fundamental energetic dynamics of freshwater ecosystems. These processes regulate the concentrations of dissolved gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, which in turn shape aquatic food webs and ecosystem responses to stressors such as floods, drought, and nutrient loading. Historically difficult to quantify, stream metabolism is now measurable at high temporal resolution thanks to advances in sensor technology and modeling. The StreamPULSE dataset includes high-frequency sensor data, metadata, and modeled estimates of ecosystem metabolism. This living dataset contributes to a growing body of open-access data characterizing the metabolic pulse of stream ecosystems worldwide.

To contribute to StreamPULSE, visit data.streampulse.org. All data contributed to StreamPULSE become public after an optional embargo period. Use this publication to access annual data releases, or use data.streampulse.org to download new data as they become available.
