Soil measurements of Seewer Berg and Davos

The dataset contains measured values of soil liquid water content, matric potential, and soil texture of 40 soil samples in Davos, Switzerland. The measurements were used for determining van Genuchten parameter values through fitting of water retention curves, pedotransfer functions, and inverse fitting with Hydrus-1D.
