Site-scale Water Table Level at a Moderately Degraded and Heavily Degraded Site within a Peat Swamp Forest in the Northern Peruvian Amazon.

This dataset contains site-scale water table level (WT) data at a moderately degraded (PE-mDeg) and heavily degraded (PE-hDeg) site within a peat swamp forest in the Northern Peruvian Amazon. The spatially stratified WT data from Hergoualc’h et al. (2020) was site-scaled using the following hummock to hollow relative proportions for the PE-mDeg and PE-hDeg sites:PE-mDegLive-hummock: 0.08Live-hollow: 0.79Cut-hummock: 0.01Cut-hollow: 0.12PE-hDegLive-hummock: 0.02Live-hollow: 0.59Cut-hummock: 0.02Cut-hollow: 0.38This data was used to validate a WT-retrieval model based on Landsat 8 surface reflectance data. Therefore, in addition to the in-situ WT measurement dates, the acquisition dates of each Landsat 8 image are provided as well.
