ReESH_US-Ho1: Howland Forest (main tower)

Regional Ecosystem Soil Hydraulics (ReESH) Project: US-Ho1: Howland Forest (main tower) The ReESH Database includes soil characteristics of soil samples and corresponding soil water retention curves, which enable the conversion of soil water content to soil water potential.
