Instructions: Save this UTF-8 text file and fill in the fields in any text editor. Keep dated source references with the completed record. Blank fields are prompts for your information.

Use with a named experiment, its methods and dated results.
Facility system / study title / date / primary source:
Research question / proposed mechanism:
Boundary / organisms or materials / operating configuration:
Intervention / baseline / control or replicates:
Measured variables / units / interval / calibration:
Water balance for a common period:
Storage change = inputs - outputs, including all relevant pathways.
Fictional input 1,000 L; drainage 600 L; evaporation and transpiration 250 L.
Expected storage increase = 150 L.
Measured storage increase 120 L gives residual 30 L.
Investigate uncertainty, timing and missing exchanges; these are not actual LEO data.
Result / uncertainty / duration / conditions:
Measured concentration or estimated flux / conversion assumptions:
What the study establishes:
Evidence needed for a wider ecosystem claim:
