Mallee Plot Network: Soil Moisture (Probe and Location) Data, Western New South Wales and South Australia, Australia, 2012, 2014 and 2015

The Mallee Plot Network Soil Moisture (Probe and Location) Data Package contains soil moisture data obtained from monitoring tubes for soil moisture, which were installed at intervals along two transects extending across the catenary sequence from swale to swale across a dune crest in May 2011. Between 1996 and 2011, 53 experimental sites were established on dune crests and upper slopes, of which 29 are located in Tarawi Nature Reserve, 16 are in Scotia Sanctuary and 8 are in Danggali Conservation Park. After initial censuses in three consecutive years (before and after prescribed fire) or two consecutive years (after wildfire), sites are revisited approximately every five years. A synopsis of related data packages, which have been collected as part of the Mallee Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/mallee
