Orchard expansion may diminish groundwater replenishment while amplifying nitrate pollution in a cultivated loess critical zone (original dataset)

This dataset is the original dataset used in a study entitled "Orchard expansion may diminish groundwater replenishment while amplifying nitrate pollution in a cultivated loess critical zone‘’. It includes an excel file containing five sheets for soil hydraulic parameters, chloride content in groundwater, soil profile particle size content, fertilizer application, and measured nitrate and chloride profiles for model calibration and validation.
