Daily Summary of 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观测成果，包含土壤湿度(soil moisture)、土壤温度(soil temperature)、空气温度(air temperature)、溪流温度(stream temperature)以及溪流水位/流量(stream stage/discharge)的监测数据。该传感器站点设于酸性沟谷林（高海拔亚型）内，该群落的林下层以大花杜鹃（Rhododendron maximum）为优势种，林上层则由北美鹅掌楸（Liriodendron tulipifera）、北美山桦（Betula alleghanensis）与加拿大铁杉（Tsuga canadensis）构成；其中加拿大铁杉已有多株因铁杉球蚜(Hemlock Woolly Adelgid)侵染死亡，存活个体均已施用内吸性杀虫剂进行防治。本研究布设的压力传感器位于名为站点溪(Station Branch)的二级溪流中。
