Hydrological and meteorological data for three plots with different vegetation near Andasibe, Madagascar, 2014-2015
Hydrological and meteorological data were collected for three plots (each 50 x 50 m in size) near Andasibe village in the Corridor Ankeniheny-Zahamena (CAZ) in eastern Madagascar. The plots differ in terms of land cover: semi-mature forest, reforested tree fallow (i.e., young secondary forest), and degraded grassland. The plots are located within 2.5 km from each other. See the supporting documentation for detailed information on the plots. Data collection continued for one year (October 2014-September 2015) at each plot and included micrometeorological data (rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed), soil moisture and overland flow, and for the two forested plots also throughfall, stemflow and sapflow.

The meteorological data were collected on a meteorological tower at each plot, except for the forested plot where the tower was located in a nearby clearing. Rainfall was collected automatically using a typing bucket raingauge. For the two forested plots, throughfall was measured daily using 66 funnel gauges and automatically using three troughs, and stemflow was collected daily. Soil moisture was measured automatically at different depths below the surface. Runoff was collected in drums below bounded runoff plots and measured daily. The methods used to collect the hydrological and meteorological data at each plot and the data processing steps are described in more detail in the "Methods.rtf" file
