Data for: Greening the dike revetment with historic sod transplantation technique in a Living Lab.

Data from an in-situ experiment on a dike in Living Lab Hedwige Prosperpolder. In the experiment we applied a historic sod transplantation technique. We tested the erosion resistance of the adapted vegetated dike revetment after one growth season. 

Dataset contains measurements in sods plot S1, S2, S3, S4 and in reference plots R1-R4. In addition, two section were only milled (K1 and F). These sections are not described in the publication, however some data is available and thus included in this dataset. 

This dataset contains files from the following research steps: 

1.    Visual observation (vegetation)
2.    Soil moisture content & Soil penetration resistance 
3.    Root indication (doorwortelling)
4.    Sod pulling method (grastrek proef)
5.    Wave impact test (golfklap proef) & Overflow test (overloop proef)

The data is described in the following publication:
