ReESH_NM-jerSHU: Jornada Experimental Range - Shrubland

Regional Ecosystem Soil Hydraulics (ReESH) Project:NM-jerSHU: Jornada Experimental Range - Shrubland

The ReESH Database includes soil characteristics of soil samples and corresponding soil water retention curves, which enable the conversion of soil water content to soil water potential.

Database Files: 1) Soil Characteristics:

"Site" -- Site Name (AmeriFlux Site Code)"Sample_ID" -- Unique Sample Identifier "Sampling_Date" -- Date of Sample Collection (YYYY-MM-DD)"Latitude" -- Site Latitude"Longitude" -- Site Longitude"Veg" -- International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) "Depth_cm" -- Sample Collection Depth (cm)"Depth" -- Sample Collection Depth (cm)"CLAY" -- Percent Clay (%)"SILT" -- Percent Silt (%)"SAND" -- Percent Sand (%)"RootBiomass_g" -- Fine Root biomass (g per 250mL soil)"Pct_OM" -- Percent Organic Matter (%)"Bulk_Den_g_m3" -- Sample Bulk Density (g m^-3)"Med_KsSoil_m_s" -- Median Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (m s^-1) -minimum three replicates"Min_KsSoil_m_s" -- Minimum Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (m s^-1) -minimum three replicates"Max_KsSoil_m_s" -- Maximum Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (m s^-1) -minimum three replicates"SD_KsSoil_m_s" -- Standard Deviation in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (m s^-1) -minimum three replicates"KS_Soil_Flag" -- QAQC flags for Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity measurements (0==good; 1==suspect and use with caution)
