Soil water retention curves and soil physicochemical properties

To identify the contribution of soil organic and inorganic fractions to soil water retention, we compiled the data of soil water retention curves and soil physicochemical properties. Data includes site information (Table 1), soil pH, soil C, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable basic cations, particle size distribution, soil texture class, contents of short-range-order minerals (Table 2), and soil water retention at different pressures, saturated hydraulic conductivity, and termite nest percent in soil profile (Table 3).
