Document soil water redistribution in the upper soil layer along three catenae. Estimate the influence of the vegetation type on the water dynamics. This dataset is part of the AMMA-CATCH eco-hydrological observatory over West Africa Soil moisture, temperature and succion profiles (0-~3m) along three catenae. Each catena is covered by a different vegetation type : herbaceous fallow (Nalohou), shrub fallow (Bira) and dry forest (Béléfoungou). On each catena, three stations are distributed on top, middle and bottom of a hillslope. Galle, S., Laurent, J.-P., Séguis, L., 2004.
