Soil moisture, soil temperature, air temperature, stream water temperature, stream stage and discharge data from Soil Moisture Station 03, 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 an acidic cove forest (high elevation subtype) dominated by an understory of Rhododendron maximum and an overstory of Liriodendron tulipifera, Betula alleghanensis, and Tsuga canadensis, the latter of which has several trees that have succombed to the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, though living trees have been treated with a systemic insecticide. The pressure transducer is located in a second order stream known as Station Branch.

本数据集源自北卡罗来纳州海兰兹市西卡罗来纳大学（Western Carolina University）海兰兹生物站（Highlands Biological Station）的长期监测项目，采集的监测指标包括土壤湿度（soil moisture）、土壤温度（soil temperature）、空气温度（air temperature）、溪流温度（stream temperature）以及溪流水位/流量（stream stage/discharge）。监测站点位于高海拔亚型酸性溪谷林内，该林分的下层植被以大叶杜鹃（Rhododendron maximum）为优势种，上层林木则涵盖北美鹅掌楸（Liriodendron tulipifera）、阿勒格尼桦（Betula alleghanensis）与加拿大铁杉（Tsuga canadensis）；其中加拿大铁杉已有多株因铁杉球蚜（Hemlock Woolly Adelgid）致死，不过存活个体已施用内吸杀虫剂进行防治。本项目的压力传感器布设于名为Station Branch的二级溪流中。
