Cave monitoring data from Cueva Llanio, Matienzo, Northern Spain, collected between February 2023 to April 2024

Cave monitoring data from Cueva Llanio, Matienzo, Northern Spain, collected between February 2023 to April 2024. Monitoring parameters consist of drip water temperature, conductivity, pH and chemical composition, all measured as spot samples on collated drip waters. Chemical composition can be detailed as nitrate, phosphorus, inorganic carbon, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and strontium content of the drip waters. Values of drip water oxygen and deuterium isotopes are also presented. Cave air temperature and drip rate are also logged as continuous data and presented for the duration of cave monitoring.

Statement: All drip water chemical analyses were measured on subsamples of water collated on three separate visits to the cave site. Conductivity/temp/pH was analysed using a WTW340i multimeter. Nitrogen and phosphorus content was analysed using SEAL AQ2 automated colourimetry, and cations were analysed by ICP-OES using a Thermo Scientific iCAP 6000, in the Lancaster Environment Centre laboratories, Lancaster University, UK. The dissolved inorganic carbon content of the drip water subsamples were analysed within 24 hours of collection using HACH titration. Isotopes of dripwater ?18O were analysed by Isoprime 100 mass spectrometer plus Aquaprep, and isotopes of water ?2H were analysed on an Isoprime mass spectrometer with EuropyrOH at the British Geological Survey. Drip rate records were logged using Stalagmate loggers, and cave air temperature was logged using TinyTag temperature loggers.
