Soil water content before and after rain events, May-July 2014-2016, Hainich, Germany, project AquaDiva

This dataset contains soil water content data used for the analysis published in Fischer-Bedtke et al., (2023).  It gives spatially distributed soil water contents evaluated at a rain event scale covering the following periods:

May 5 - July 26 2014

May 13 - July 28 2015

May 25 - July 24 2016

The enclosed files cover two different soil depth: topsoil (soil depth 7 cm) and  subsoil (soil depth 27 cm).

Fischer et al. (2023) give details about the included data and should be cited along the with the dataset when using the data.
