Moon Data Variable Explanations: All Data, where applicable, was of the initial measurements before treatment, except for the response variable (BDOM/t28). This is because we wanted to use this as a predictor mechanism (and in application, we can assess treatment, but not response optical properties). TRIAL: Season during which the sample was taken. 1 = Spring, 2 = Summer. TREATMENT: The method with which the water sample was treated during the experiment. 1 = CL, 2 = CD, 3=NL, 4 = ND (Control/Nutrient, Light/Dark) FI: Fluorescence Index (Optical) BIX/HIX: Other Indices (Optical) ABS254: Absorbance at 254 nano-meters (Optical) Burn: The Burn level of the soil where the water sample was taken. (1 is burned, 0 is not burned) Precipitation: Average Monthly Precipitation over the previous year. Drainage: Site-Specific Data, drainage measurement. Forest: Forestation Percentage of the land. Elevation: Elevation of the land at the specific site. Development: Percentage of land that was considered "developed". Impervious: Percentage of land that was considered impervious to fire (stone/concrete, etc). Herb Land: Percentage of land that was considered herbacious, but not forested. Slope: Angle of slope of the land (on average) that drained into the water source. t0: Initial measurement of carbon. t28: Measurement of carbon post treatment. bdom: Measure of change between t0 and t28 (percentage).
