Soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream water temperature, stream stage and discharge data from Soil Moisture Station 03, Highlands Biological Station, Highlands, NC, 2021-2025

Measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream temperatue, and stream stage/discharge were collected as part of a long-term monitoring project at the Highlands Biological Station, Western Carolina University, Highlands, North Carolina. The sensor station is located in an acidic cove forest (high elevation subtype) dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula alleghanensis, and Tsuga canadensis, the latter of which has several trees that have succombed to the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, though living trees have been treated with a systemic insecticide. The pressure transducer is located in a second order stream known as Station Branch.

本数据集为北卡罗来纳州高地市西卡罗来纳大学高地生物站长期监测项目的采集内容，包含土壤湿度、土壤温度、空气温度、溪流水温及溪流水位/流量的观测数据。该传感器站点位于酸性沟谷林（高海拔亚型）内，该林分的下层植被以大杜鹃（Rhododendron maximum）为优势种，上层植被则涵盖北美鹅掌楸（Liriodendron tulipifera）、阿勒格尼桦（Betula alleghanensis）与加拿大铁杉（Tsuga canadensis）；其中加拿大铁杉已有多株因感染铁杉球蚜（Hemlock Woolly Adelgid）死亡，但存活植株已通过内吸性杀虫剂进行防治。布设的压力式传感器位于名为Station Branch的二级溪流中。
