Cumulative infiltration curves measured in two-layer columns consisted of a hydrophobic substrate on wettable soil [Dataset]

[ENG] The dataset is structured in a single Excel file comprising three sheets, each containing raw measurements of cumulative infiltration curves followed by gravity drainage. In every sheet, the first row labels the different infiltration curves, with time values (in seconds) recorded in Column A and corresponding cumulative infiltration data (in millimeters) in subsequent columns. Each infiltration curve represents a distinct material, differentiated by color-coded headers for clarity. The time column remains consistent across all curves, while the infiltration data columns (B, C, etc.) capture the different cumulative infiltration followed by drainage. The first sheet, labeled Hydrophobic Substrate, includes the infiltration curves measured in 1 cm and 2.5 cm thick columns filled with hydrophobic litter of Rosmarie (RS) and Pine. Each combination of substrate type (RS or Pine) and column thickness was tested in triplicate (three replications). The headers are color-coded to distinguish between different column geometries and substrate types. The second sheet, titled Hydrophobic Layer on Wettable Soil, contains cumulative infiltration curves measured in laboratory soil columns. Each column consisted of a 2 cm thick layer of hydrophobic Rosmarie (RS) or Pine litter placed atop a 5 cm thick layer of either sand or loam soil. Three replicates were performed for each hydrophobic-wettable layer combination. The headers of each infiltration curve are color-coded to distinguish between different column geometries and substrate types. The third sheet, Undisturbed cores, shows the cumulative infiltration curves measured in from undisturbed soil cores collected in forest soils. The first row of the sheet identifies each infiltration curve.
