30-minute Soil Moisture data at 10 cm at CSIS Block-2. Collection of soil volumetric water content data at Jornada LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) blocks, New Mexico, supports the environmental monitoring objectives of the Jornada LTER monitoring program that look at plant-soil water dynamics. Soil volumetric water content is measured at 10 cm depth at 3 locations at each of the 4 plots per block. The locations in each plot are under bare soil, under perennial grass, and under shrub. Volumetric water content, bulk electrical conductivity, soil temperature, and bulk dielectric permittivity are recorded every 30 minutes at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER CSIS Block-2 site. This is an ONGOING dataset. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: Website Pointer to html file.
