Daily Summary of Soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream water temperature, stream stage and discharge data from Soil Moisture Station 02, Highlands Biological Station, Highlands, NC, 2021-2025

Measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream temperatue, and stream stage/discharge were collected as part of a long-term monitoring project at the Highlands Biological Station, Western Carolina University, Highlands, North Carolina. The sensor station is located in a remnant old-growth Canada Hemlock Forest (typic subtype) community dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Tsuga canadensis, the majority of which are still alive and have been treated with systemic insecticides to protect against infestations of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. Other trees include Betula alleghanensis, Acer rubrum, and Quercus rubra. The pressure transducer is located in the thalweg of Coker Creek, a second order stream that flows into Lindenwood Lake.
