RCCZO -- Soil Moisture -- Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed -- (1977-Ongoing)

We describe long term data collected at the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW) related to below-ground fluxes of energy and water. Soil water content as measured by neutron probe.

These data were collected at locations representing different climates and soils within the RCEW. Spatial variability of water balance within the watershed and well as temporal variability at specific sites is illustrated. High correlation between neutron probe and lysimeter results are the basis for assessing the accuracy of neutron probe-measured changes in soil-water content.
