NFIWADS: the water budget, soil moisture, and drought stress indicator database for the German National Forest Inventory (NFI)

Key message The NFIWADS database contains aggregated results for the German National Forest Inventory (NFI) plots based on process-based water balance simulations. More than 150 water budget, soil moisture, and drought stress indicators were derived for mature, closed-canopy beech and spruce stands, and provide a basis for the assessment of forest productivity and risks. Dataset is available in the Open Agrar repository (Schmidt-Walter et al 2018) at https://www.openagrar.de/receive/openagrar_mods_00044576 .
