Field campaign data Dry Chaco, July-August 2019

KU Leuven, Belgium

Field data collected in July-August 2019 in the central part of the Dry Chaco in Argentina within 27 EASEv2 satellite pixels as described in Vincent et al., (2021):

1) Surface (0-5 cm) soil data, covering 27 large-scale pixels:

Dielectric_properties.csv: Dielectric properties measured with TDR, HydraGO, Hanna, YSI proDDS

pH.csv: pH measured with YSI proDDS

Soil_moisture.csv: Soil moisture measured with HydraGO, ThetaProbe, TDR

SoilMoisture_Gravimetric.csv: Soil moisture gravimetrically derived from soil samples

Temperature.csv: Temperature measured with HydraGO

2) Surface and deeper soil data across some transects:

Transects.csv: Soil moisture, temperature, dielectric constant (real, imaginary part, 0.05 GHz), bulk EC, porewater EC, saturated paste EC, pH, measured with various devices
