Geophysical survey associated with NEON AOP survey, East River, CO 2018

The package contains data layers developed and used in Falco et al. 2024: “EcoImaging: Advanced Sensing to Investigate Plant and Abiotic Hierarchical Spatial Patterns in Mountainous Watersheds". The package is part of the DOE Watershed Function Science Focus Area (SFA) project and includes geophysical measurements collected at the East River, Colorado, in conjunction with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) survey conducted in June 2018. This dataset provide soil geophysical information and were used to investigate soil-plant relationships. The dataset consists of: - NEON_2018_EMI_survey.zip: the electromagnetic induction (EMI) survey as shape-file; - NEON_plot_TDR.csv: plot‑level data from Time‑Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurements, providing: * volumetric water content (VWC) in percent (%); * soil temperature in degrees Celsius (°C); - file level metadata (flmd.csv) - data dictionary (dd.csv) file This work was supported by the Watershed Function Science Focus Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory funded by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
