Statement

Soil and ground microclimate (temperature and volumetric moisture) were recorded at 15-minute intervals between 2019 - 2022 using five TOMST TMS-4 loggers in each plot. The raw soil moisture counts were converted to volumetric moisture (%) using conversion factors provided by TOMST based on soil type (a link to the conversion pdf is provided). All data were averaged to the hour and then averaged again to the day. This provided daily temperature and moisture means which are reported here. The temperatures are provided in Celsius and moisture in water content per unit volume in percent. Limitations include logger breakage which sometimes limited the data available from each plot. Therefore, not all plots have consistent data from five intact loggers. The raw moisture count conversion is dependent on soil type. We analysed the soil's physical composition in each plot and used the model that most closely aligned with our site. Errors associated with model performance is likely to have over- or underestimated the values, however, overall, the high volume of data provides a robust understanding of hydrology across the plots.
