Abstract

The data collection contains: (i) soil water retention and conductivity data determined by the evaporation method, supplemented by dew point method data and measurements of saturated conductivity, (ii) particle size distribution determined with sieving and sedimentation analyses, bulk density and organic carbon content, as well as (iii) meta data like the coordinates of sampling locations. Additionally, soil hydraulic parameters for the widely established van Genuchten/Mualem model and for the more sophisticated PDI Model, which also considers non-capillary retention and conductivity, are provided.
