Dataset for Spatial Decoupling and Lateral Funneling: The Dual-Control Mechanism of Preferential Flow in an Alpine Soil–Weathered Bedrock Continuum

The repository consists of the following files: 1. Site_Attributes.csv: Contains static environmental properties for each monitoring profile (D1–D24). Topography: Elevation, Slope, Aspect, TPI (Topographic Position Index), TWI (Topographic Wetness Index). Vegetation: RII (Root Influence Index), Distance to Tree (Dis2T), Canopy Cover (CC). Soil Properties: Bulk Density (BD), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), Sand/Clay/Silt fractions, Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (Ks). 2. Rainfall_Data.csv: Contains the time-series or event-summary data of precipitation recorded by the tipping-bucket rain gauge located at the experimental site. Includes total rainfall (P), duration (D), mean intensity (Imean), and maximum intensity (PImax) for each delineated event. 3. PF_Event_Characteristics.xlsx: This is the core dataset containing event-based soil moisture response features for all monitoring profiles. Structure: The file is organized by monitoring profile. Each sheet (named "D1", "D2", ..., "D24") corresponds to a specific sensor profile. Content: Each row represents a specific rainfall-response event. Columns detail the timing, magnitude, and classification of the flow response.
