A long-term multisensor dataset from a coking plant soil lysimeter

The datas come from a lysimeter column of 2 m of depth and 1m² of area located in the GISFI experimental station (Homécourt, France). This lysimeter was filled in 2008 by a coking plant soil contaminated with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (16 US-EPA PAH around 2000mg/kg), classified as a technosol (WRB classification). Hourly measurements collected automatically using a datalogger, were performed at three different depths (50, 100 and 150 cm of depth): soil water content, soil matrix pressure and soil temperature. In addition, the total mass of the lysimeter and the seepage measured at the column bottom are also recorded. These measures are available from February 2008 until January 2025. After data control, over 95 % of these measurement periods are considered reliable. In addition, this dataset can be combined with data from a meteorological station localized in the same site to perform water budget. All these measurements providing continuous, local and long-term observations, allow to study and forecast water transfers to an industrial technosol, for academic research, water agencies or citizens.
