Description

Paired-aspect monitoring sites in Dry Creek Experimental Watershed, SW Idaho, provide soil moisture and temperature data from four soil pits per each of eight sites. For elevation scaling, the four aspect-paired sites are located at apprx 1130, 1290, 1460, 1820 meters above MSL, spanning grass-shrub to forested environments within steeply sloped terrain. Data sets published here span 2008-current and will extend through 2018 as these data become available. The eight sites and locations in LAT/LONG are: HN (High N-Facing) 43.74067, -116.118596 HS (High S-Facing) 43.73908, -116.115775 LN (Low N-Facing) 43.68925, -116.169689 LS (Low S-Facing) 43.69082, -116.169382 MHN (Mid-High N-Facing) 43.71715, -116.125309 MHS (Mid-High S-Facing) 43.7205, -116.125744 MLN (Mid-Low N-Facing) 43.70151, -116.148459 MLS (Mid-Low S-Facing) 43.70494, -116.149738
