High-resolution throughfall measurement design, Hainich, Germany, project AquaDiva

This dataset contains the sampling design for throughfall data used for the analysis published in Metzger et al. (2017) and Fischer et al. (2023). It gives spatially distributed throughfall measurement points and their forest structural properties. The measurement points are grouped into randomly distributed “kernel” points and “transect” points which are not part of the random design. The field site and sampling design are described in Metzger et al. (2017). The throughfall data is given in an associated published dataset (Metzger and Hildebrandt, 2023).
