An array of sensors distributed around Critical Zone Tree-1 provides highly detailed data on the water balance of a single white fir (Abies concolor) tree. Data are logged on a refined spatial and temporal scale. See the map tab for more information on the sensor and soil pit locations. Soil water potential mesured (SWP) measured using 72 MPS sensors arranged in spokes 30 degrees apart and alongside VWC sensors in vertical pits and using tensiometers. Soil water potential is colocated with soil volumetric water content (VWC) temperature, and electrical conductivity measured using Decagon Devices 5-TE sensor at depths of 10, 30, 60, and 90 cm below the mineral soil surface in 6 soil pits. Pits range from 1-5 m from CZT-1.
