Long‐Term Soil Water Content Database, Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed, Idaho, United States

Abstract

We describe long‐term soil water data collected at the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW). Data were collected for 10–25 years at 18 sites representing different climatic regimes and soils in the RCEW. Soil profile data are also available. High correlation between neutron probe and lysimeter measurements are the basis for assessing the accuracy of neutron probe–measured changes in soil water content. These data are available to the public via the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Northwest Watershed Research Center anonymous ftp site ftp.nwrc.ars.usda.gov.
