Aggregated 30-minute soil water and temperature data from 9 NPP shrub sites at Jornada Basin LTER, 2013 - 2024 (for Pinos et al 2025 manuscript)

This is an aggregated dataset of 30-minute soil temperature and
moisture data from 9 shrub-dominated NPP study sites at the Jornada
Basin LTER site in southern New Mexico, U.S.A. Collection of soil
volumetric water content data at all of the 15 Jornada LTER NPP
sites, New Mexico, supports the environmental monitoring objectives
of the Jornada LTER monitoring program that look at plant-soil water
dynamics. Volumetric water content and soil temperature are measured
every 30 minutes at an automated meteorological station installed at
all 15 of the Jornada LTER program’s NPP sites. This dataset
aggregates only the stations located at the 9 sites with
shrub-dominated vegetation cover (creosotebush, tarbush, and
mesquite dune sites). Measurements are made every 30 minutes at 10
cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm soil depths. This dataset is in support of the
Pinos et al. 2025 manuscript.
