Environmental Data: Water availability of Swiss forests during the 201...

monthly covariance measurements

Data from Davos and Lägeren from 2013-2019

measured soil matric potential

In daily resolution for a site near Neunkirch and Hohtenn from 2014 to 2018.

Posterior LWF-Brook90 model parameters

Sensitive above and belowground parameters of LWF-Brook90 model are provided for best runs of the calibration against soil matric potential data.

available water storage capacity (AWC)

water balance fluxes

Average yearly simulated water fluxes (mm) for the Swiss forest at 500m spatial resolution.

Ratio of actual to potential transpiration

Simulated monthly values at 500m spatial resolution.

Root distribution and root water uptake

Root density distribution derived from 44 soil profiles and simulated daily root water uptake (mm) aggregated for deciduous and coniferous trees across Switzerland.

Soil matric potential (kPa)

Mean simulated values for August 2018 with 500m spatial resolution.

Gravitational water capacity (mm)

Calculated for 1m soil depth and the potential rooting depth at 500m spatial resolution.

Uncertainties of the available water storage capacity (mm)

Calculated for 1m soil depth and the potential rooting depth (mrd).

Soil water pools with soil depth

Average plant available - (AWC), gravitational (GWC) and residual (RES) water capacity per soil depth layer of the Swiss forest.
