Continuously measured forest soil moisture at four sites in the Coweeta Basin
Volumetric soil water content was measured at four locations in the Coweeta Basin across a range of elevations. At each location, soil water content was measured from 0 to 30 cm and from 30 to 60 cm. In addition, air temperature was measured at 100 cm height and soil temperature was measured at 5 and 20 cm depth. At two locations photosynthetic available radiation (PAR) was measured below and above canopy. Measurements are recorded every 60 seconds and data output hourly.
Spring and Fall Leaf Phenology from Coweeta LTER Soil Moisture Sites SM2 & SM4, Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, Otto, NC, 2003-2015
Spring vegetative bud break, leaf elongation, fall leaf color, and leaf senescence are monitored at the two scaffold towers located at Project 1040 soil moisture microclimate sites 2 and 4. We have identified a variety of species at the elevation extremes within the Coweeta basin for this yearly monitoring project.
Hourly soil moisture, soil temperature, groundwater temperature, and groundwater stage height measurements from 9 Hillslope Study sites located in Macon County, North Carolina, within the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin
The Hillslope Study was established to directly link land use impacts to streamwater quality in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Nine sites were selected in the Little Tennessee River watershed in Macon County, NC, representing four land use types: forest, mountain development, traditional valley, and large river valley. At each of these sites, three subsurface flowpaths were identified, and four plots were established along the flowpath following the elevation gradient. At seven of the nine sites, the three lower elevation plots at one of the subsurface flowpaths had ground water wells installed in order to measure groundwater stage and temperature along an elevational gradient. Additional sensors were installed adjacent to the groundwater wells to measure soil moisture at 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm below the ground surface uphill and downhill of the well, and soil temperature at 5 cm below the ground surface. Measurements were taken every 60 seconds and output as hourly averages. Data were used as part of the Regional HydroEcological Simulation System (RHESSys) ecohydrologic model. Please see the accompanying well construction data for additional groundwater well information.
In situ soil moisture measurements for the Hillslope study from 5 sites located in Macon County, North Carolina, within the Upper Little Tennessee River Basin
This study was conducted across 5 sites that served as part of the regional hillslope study. Synoptic soil moisture measurements were measured using a Theta Probe that measures surface soil moisture up to a depth of 6cm. Site locations include 18 plots in WS14, 17 plots in Fall Branch, 13 plots in WS18, 10 plots on Mica City Road, and 12 plots at Ammons Creek. The measurement period varied among sites. The most complete is WS14 lasting about 3 years of regular measurements starting in 2011.
Data from: High temperatures and low soil moisture synergistically reduce switchgrass yields from marginal field sites and inhibit fermentation
<p>'Marginal lands' are low productivity sites abandoned from agriculture for reasons such as low or high soil water content, challenging topography, or nutrient deficiency. To avoid competition with crop production, cellulosic bioenergy crops have been proposed for cultivation on marginal lands, however on these sites they may be more strongly affected by environmental stresses such as low soil water content. In this study we used rainout shelters to induce low soil moisture on marginal lands and determine the effect of soil water stress on switchgrass growth and the subsequent production of bioethanol. Five marginal land sites that span a latitudinal gradient in Michigan and Wisconsin were planted to switchgrass in 2013 and during the 2018-2021 growing seasons were exposed to reduced precipitation under rainout shelters in comparison to ambient precipitation. The effect of reduced precipitation was related to the environmental conditions at each site and biofuel production metrics (switchgrass biomass yields and composition and ethanol production). During the first year (2018), the rainout shelters were designed with 60% rain exclusion, which did not affect biomass yields compared to ambient conditions at any of the field sites, but decreased switchgrass fermentability at the Wisconsin Central - Hancock site. In subsequent years, the shelters were redesigned to fully exclude rainfall, which led to reduced biomass yields and inhibited fermentation for three sites. When switchgrass was grown in soils with large reductions in moisture and increases in temperature, the potential for biofuel production was significantly reduced, exposing some of the challenges associated with producing biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass grown under drought conditions.</p>
Grid-to-Grid daily simulated soil moisture 1964-2018, at selected UK Soil Moisture Databank sites.
<p>This dataset contains Grid-to-Grid (G2G) daily simulated soil moisture time-series at selected UK Soil Moisture Databank (UKSMD) sites. It was created to facilitate an evaluation of G2G simulated soil moisture against the UKSMD neutron probe soil moisture observations (Bell et al., 2022). </p> <p>G2G (Bell et al., 2009) is a national-scale gridded hydrological model, which has been widely applied to simulate river flows and more recently soil moisture. Here, the model was run at 1km resolution from 01/01/1964 - 16/12/2019 across Great Britain. Simulated soil moisture time-series are provided for the 1km grid-cells closest to selected UKSMD site locations. The G2G simulates vertically-integrated soil moisture in units of mm/m. For further explanation of G2G soil moisture, please see Kay et al., 2022 (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac7a4e). </p> <p>The data is provided as two plain text files:</p> <p>1) g2g_soilmoist_1964_2018.txt contains the simulated soil moisture values. The first three columns specify the simulation date (day, month, year). Subsequent columns are soil moisture (mm/m) time-series at each site, with the UKSMD site ID given as column headers. </p> <p>2) site_locations.csv contains the locations of the UKSMD sites. In some cases there were multiple tubes with slightly different locations within a larger site, and here we are providing the location of the specific tube used. Columns specify: SITE_NAME (the site ID), TUBE_NAME (the tube number), EASTING and NORTHING (easting and northing in British National Grid). The site ID and tube names used in this document are consistent with the UKSMD documentation. </p> <p>References:</p> <p>Bell, V. A., Kay, A. L., Jones, R. G., Moore, R. J., & Reynard, N. S. (2009).

Soil temperature, moisture, and ground heat flux measurements at LPTEG-TREES-1 site, 2019/07/01-2019/09/09
<p>This dataset includes the original measurements of soil temperature, moisture, and surface ground heat flux reconstructed from heat flux plate measurements at the LPTEG-TREES-1 site (N66°53’55’’, E66°45’27’’). Soil temperature (T_soil, °C) was measured at 2 cm below the peat layer surface. Soil liquid water content (theta_liq, m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>3</sup>) was measured 2 cm below the mineral soil layer surface. Observation for ground heat flux at the soil surface (G_obs, W/m<sup>2</sup>) was reconstructed from the heat flux plate (buried 6 cm below the mineral soil surface) measurement plus the energy storage above the heat flux plate calculated based on soil temperature and soil heat capacity.</p>
