Soil hydraulic and thermal properties determined in surface organic and mineral soils in the region near Toolik Lake on the North Slope of Alaska, 2016-2019

Soil cores of 5 cm diameter down to frozen soil were taken from a subset of sample sites for laboratory analysis. Determinations of hydraulic conductivity, thermal conductivity, porosity, and bulk density were made for each core. For a further subset of sites we developed soil moisture retention cur...
