Chemical and physical data for sediment source fingerprinting of suspended and bottom sediment in Little River, Kentucky.

This data release includes physical and chemical data for samples from upland source and streambank sampling sites in the Little River basin, Kentucky. Data were collected from March to November of 2014. These data include total nitrogen and carbon concentrations, organic carbon concentrations, concentrations for 37 metals, and particle-size analysis. Source samples were grouped into one of four land use categories: Crop, pasture, riparian, or streambank. These data are used for sediment fingerprinting in order to quantify the proportional contribution of sources to suspended sediment in the basin.
