SHAW model input and output data

The seasonal freeze-thaw process significantly influences the migration and distribution of soil moisture in cold regions; however, the heterogeneity of these influences among vegetation type and elevation has seldom been revealed, which limits our understanding of hydrological processes and streamflow generation in alpine regions. Here, we used the Simultaneous Heat and Water (SHAW) model to simulate the dynamics of soil temperature and moisture of four vegetation types (i.e., shrub meadow, coniferous forest, mountainous steppe, and desert steppe) in the Qilian Mountains catchment from 2015 to 2023
