Abstract
This data set contains soil temperature, soil moisture, and soil conductivity data in the vicinity of Palmer Station. TEROS12 sensors are installed in 40 plots that are distributed along an increasing primary productivity gradient (i.e., with increasing distance from the Marr Ice Piedmont glacier). The sensors are comprised of 5 cm long metal pins that are inserted straight down into the soil and hence, data are collected from the upper 0-5 cm of the soil. There are 4 sites along the gradient (site 1 is closest to the glacier and site 4 is farthest from the glacier), with ten plots at each site. Half of the plots at each site are plots that contain an open-top chamber and the other half of the plots are control (unwarmed) plots. Plot ids will contain "W" for warmed plots and "C" for control plots. Raw data from the loggers (logged every 20 minutes), as well as an R Markdown file is provided to facilitate reading in and displaying the daily average soil moisture and temperature data at the plot and at the treatment level for each productivity site. Loggers and sensors were installed in December 2022 and were downloaded in November (sites 2-4) and in December (site 1) of 2024.
