Surface soil hydraulic and physical properties measured in establishing native woodland and grazed pasture plots in Dartmoor National Park, southwest England.

Data collected during late summer, autumn and winter 2018 and spring 2019. Available are measurements of hydrological (Ksat, initial infiltration, wetness threshold and soil moisture ) and physical (surface compaction, bulk density, soil organic matter, macroporosity and small stone fraction) soil properties in native woodland and pasture plots across the four study sites. Also included are pictures taken during accompanying soil assessments.
