 note = {An invasive woody species, Casuarina equisetifolia Forst. (Casuarinaceae), is strongly dominant in the forests it invades in the Ogasawara Islands. For the restoration and management of these forest ecosystems, eradication and control programs aimed at C. equisetifolia are ongoing on the islands. The eradication can affect the water balance by altering hydrological processes, such as evapotranspiration, throughfall, stemflow, and rainfall canopy interception. In this study, we showed temporal changes in the water contents of surface soils in forests dominated by C. equisetifolia on Nishijima Island before and after their eradication. Volumetric water contents of surface soils at sites where all trees of C. equisetifolia were killed by herbicide and those of adjacent control sites were measured. The measurements of the soil water contents have been conducted from July 10, 2012 to August 31, 2013 at hourly interval. After August 2012, the soil water contents in the removal quadrats have trended to be higher than those in the control quadrats. The increases in soil water contents just after the removal treatment suggested that death of C. equisetifolia by the treatment would result in increase in soil water content. The complete data set of soil water contents in this study is available in electronic format with the permission of the Ogasawara Research Committee of Tokyo Metropolitan University (island@tmu.ac.jp)., Article},
