Short summary
There is currently limited evidence about how land-based “natural flood management” measures affect soil properties. We therefore measured soil physical and hydraulic properties (n = 1300) at seven field sites (Thames catchment, UK). The sites cover a range of geologies, land use, and management. Dataset applications include hydrological and land surface modelling and validation of remote sensing observations. The dataset also provides a baseline against which future soil changes may be compared.
