Water availability of Swiss forests during the 2015 and 2018 droughts

The Swiss forests' water availability during the 2015 and 2018 droughts was modelled by implementing the mechanistic Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Transport (SVAT) model LWF-Brook90 taking advantage of regionalized depth-resolved soil information and measured soil matric potential and eddy covariance data. Data include 1) csv of soil matrix potential and eddy covariance data, 2) csv of posterior model parameters, 3) geotiffs of plant-available water storage capacity until 1m soil depth and the potential rooting depth, 4) geotiffs of yearly average (2014-2019) of precipitation (P), actual evapotranspiration (ETa), evaporation as the sum of soil, snow and interception evaporation (E), actual transpiration (Ta), runoff (F) and total soil water storage (SWAT), 5) csv of simulated root water uptake aggregated for different soil depths per deciduous and coniferous trees across Switzerland at daily resolution and cumulative root fraction per soil depth for coniferous and deciduous sites, 6) geotiffs of the ratio of actual to potential transpiration (-) as mean of non-drought years 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2015 and 2018 for the month June, July, August, September and October, 7) geotiff of mean soil matric potential in the rooting zone in August 2018, 8) geotiffs of gravitational water capacity (mm) until 1 m soil depth and the maximum rooting depth (mrd), 9) geotiffs of uncertainties of the available water storage capacity (AWC) until 1m soil depth and the mean maximum rooting depth (mrd), 10) csv of average plant available - (AWC), gravitational (GWC) and residual (RES) water capacity per soil depth layer of the Swiss forest.
