An in situ observation dataset of soil hydraulic properties and soil moisture in a high and cold mountainous area on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

<p>Based on soil profile data at depths of 5 cm and 25 cm from 238 sampling sites, and on soil data from 32 soil moisture monitoring stations at depths of 5 cm, 15 cm, 25 cm, 40 cm, and 60 cm, we have compiled a soil hydraulic properties and soil moisture dataset for a high and cold mountainous area, Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Specifically, the soil hydraulic properties include clay, silt, sand, soil organic carbon, soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil water retention curve parameters (Van Genuchten model) and soil dry bulk density.</p>
