Summary

This dataset includes physical and hydraulic properties at selected sites in interior Alaska. Physical properties include dry bulk density, loss on ignition, saturated soil water content, and particle size distribution. Hydraulic properties include field-saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil-water retention data, and parameters used in a common soil-water retention model (van Genuchten model). Volumetric soil-water content profiles with depth are also included. Note that unburned locations are denoted with UB and burned locations are denoted with B.

Purpose

This Data Release summarizes measurements of hydraulic and physical properties of soils at boreal forest sites in interior Alaska, USA. These measurements provide a foundation to reduce uncertainty of parameters in hydrologic models that include cold regions processes for assessing impacts of wildfire and climate disturbance on water quality and quantity.
