Description
Environmental Information Data Centre provides soil hydraulic measurement data from the Climoor field site in Clocaenog Forest, North Wales. The collection contains five distinct datasets covering soil bulk density, saturated water content, and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity measured using mini disk infiltrometer and HYPROP instruments. Data was collected between late 2010 and early 2012, with specific campaigns in April and September 2011, May 2012, and November 2010.
Use Cases
Model unsaturated hydraulic conductivity using field measurements taken at tensions of -2 and -6 centimetre with a mini disk infiltrometer.
Analyze soil water release curves for wet soil derived from HYPROP instrument measurements on laboratory soil cores.
Compare soil bulk density and saturated water content data collected from 0-5 centimetre depth across different seasonal campaigns.
Assess soil water retention characteristics using water release curve data for dry soil measured with a WP4 potentiometer.
Data collection spans a defined period from late 2010 to early 2012, with specific campaigns in April 2011, September 2011, May 2012, and November 2010.
Incorrect or missing values have been removed and replaced with NA's, indicating a documented quality control process.
Limitations
