Abstract
This data product provides soil hydraulic and texture data from fine- and coarse-textured intensive sampling sites within the Ivey Pecan Orchard in Tornillo, Texas. The orchard is located on floodplain deposits of the Rio Grande with substantial spatial variation in soil texture, and previous work at the site has shown differences in pecan tree size and soil moisture dynamics between fine- and coarse-textured areas. These data were collected to characterize how soil texture influences water retention and water availability in this flood-irrigated dryland agroecosystem. The dataset includes HYPROP/WP4C-derived soil water retention information exported to spreadsheet format, original HYPROP software files, associated diagnostic plots, and PARIO particle size analysis files. Samples represent multiple depths, primarily within the upper 30 cm of soil, with additional deeper samples near 120 cm. Soil water release curves were fit using the Fredlund-Xing model, and the exported HYPROP spreadsheets include fitted model parameters and associated uncertainty estimates. These measurements can be used to relate volumetric water content to soil water potential and to compare water retention behavior between fine- and coarse-textured orchard soils. The dataset provides reusable soil physical parameters for studies of soil moisture dynamics, plant water availability, and soil–plant–atmosphere interactions in flood-irrigated dryland agroecosystems. The dataset was developed as part of Lindsey Dacey’s thesis research, which used soil water release curves to evaluate texture-related differences in soil water availability at the Ivey Pecan Orchard.
