This dataset contains information of the small scale highly resolved soil moisture measurement network that is part of the of the AquaDiva Critical Zone exploratory, Hainich National Park, Germany. The dataset contains information on soil measurement locations, as well as attributes to the location, the design type (random locations vs transects), as well as locations attributes like distance to the next tree and soil properties. Measurement design was first introduced by Metzger et al., (2017), and used in Fischer et al., 2023. See there for more information. References Fischer-Bedtke, C., Metzger, J.
