DailyHydroData.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing values of daily precipitation amounts, hillslope runoff amounts during events, runoff ratios, water table elevations at two hillslope positions, the hydraulic gradient between the two hillslope positions, the daily saturated thicknesses at downslope wells, and daily effective hydraulic conductivities of the hillslopes.
DailySoilMoisture.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing daily soil moisture values at the Biomass Removed and Biomass Left hillslopes.
DailyTreatmentRatios.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing daily ratios of runoff amount, water table elevation, hydraulic gradient, and hydraulic conductivity at a treatment hillslopes (Biomass Removed or Biomass Left) relative to the Unharvested Control hillslope.
TrenchDimensions.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing soil physical properties and depths at the Biomass Removed, Biomass Left, and Unharvested Control hillslopes.
WaterDepthCalibrations.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing information that was used to calculate daily water table elevations.
WellAndGroundSurvey.csv \Data Comma-delimited text file containing geographic coordinates, elevations, and slope distances for the hillslopes and instrumentation on the Biomass Removed, Biomass Left, and Unharvested Control hillslopes.
SiteMapPhotos.jpg \Supplements JPG file containing 1) a map showing the location of the S7 hillslope on the Marcell Experimental Forest; 2) a line drawing showing the layout of the reference plot (Unharvested Control) and two harvested plots (Biomass Left, Biomass Removed) along with the location of the monitoring wells and soil moisture and precipitation stations; and 3) pictures showing the reference plot and the two harvested plots.
