Otway Flux Data Collection

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in Nirranda South using eddy covariance techniques.   
The Otway flux station was located at Narrinda South in south west Victoria, Australia.The pasture was grazed by dairy cattle with average grass height of 0.1m. Annual average rainfall at the site was around 800mm and was only moderately seasonal. Mean daily temperature ranged from 25°C in February to 12°C in July. The flux station was situated on a 10m tower. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide were measured using the open-path eddy covariance technique. Supplementary measurements included temperature, humidity, rainfall, total solar, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and net radiation. Soil temperature and heat flux were also measured. The Otway flux station was established in February 2007 on private land at Nirranda South and managed by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research staff as part of the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies.For additional site information, see http://www.ozflux.org.au/monitoringsites/otway/index.html .

TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Kangaroo Transect

The 2025 version is now superseded. Please find the 2026 version of this record here: <a href=" https://dx.doi.org/10.25901/sjr2-n626 ">Adelaide University &amp; Specht, A. (2026). TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Kangaroo Transect. Version 2.1. Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network. Dataset.</a>


The record lists data from surveys conducted to monitor Kangaroo (<em>Osphranter rufus</em> (Desmarest)) activity in the TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve (or Koonamore Vegetation Reserve (KVR)) since 1960s. The kangaroo transect was set up in 1968 by Andrew Smith and Bob Lange to monitor kangaroo numbers on the Reserve and give a qualitative indication how numbers fluctuate from year to year. Some results are included in Andrew and Lange (1986). The transect runs east to west through the sandy dune areas of the southern part of the reserve, where kangaroos tend to congregate (inside), and extends some distance into the paddock to the west of the western boundary (outside).  The dataset ranges from 1968 to 2022 and comprises the total number of kangaroo scats, which includes fresh and old scats. Goat and sheep pellets, if present, were later included in the count.

  Located in a 5 square kilometre block of relatively uniform open-forest savanna, the site is representative of high rainfall, frequently burnt tropical savanna. Tropical savanna in Australia occupies 1.9 million square km across the north and given the extent of this biome, understanding biogeochemical cycles, impacts of fire on sequestration, vegetation and fauna is a national priority. In the NT, savanna ecosystems are largely intact in terms of tree cover, with only modest levels of land use change. Despite this, there is evidence of a loss of biodiversity, most likely due to shifts in fire regimes and a loss of patchiness in the landscape. Approximately 40% of the savanna burn every year and understanding fire impacts on fauna and flora is essential for effective land management.

Robson Creek FLUXNET Release 2026_r1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.21) as described by Isaac et al. (2017) for the quality control and post-processing steps.  The final, gap-filled product containing Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) has been produced using the ONEFlux software as described in Pastorello et al (2020).  This data set has been produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project.

The Robson Creek flux station commenced continuous collection of data in August 2013. The flux tower is located at Robson Creek, 24 km northeast of Atherton on the western slopes of the Lamb Range in Danbulla National Park, within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.

The Robson Creek tower is located in tropical rainforest, approximately 30 km northwest of Atherton in Far North Queensland.
It lies on the western slopes of the Lamb Range in Danbulla National Park, within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (WTWHA).
The tower is located to the NW of a 25 Ha census plot established by CSIRO in 2012. Vegetation type: the forest is mapped as Regional Ecosystem (RE) 7.3.36a, complex mesophyll vine forest (Queensland Government 2006). The forest type changes to RE 7.12.16a, simple to complex notophyll vine forest, with increasing altitude to the north of the 25 Ha plot. In structure the forest is very tall to extremely tall closed forest with canopy heights ranging from 23 to 44 m. The tower is located at the southern base of the Lamb Range which rises to 1276 m ASL.  The landform of the 25Ha plot which is in the dominant wind direction from the tower is moderately inclined with a low relief, a 30 m high ridge running north/south through the middle of the plot and a 40 m high ridge running north/south on the eastern edge of the plot.
Three permanent creeks flow through the 25 Ha plot, joining with Robson Creek which in turn meets the Tinaroo Dam approximately one kilometre south of the plot.
The climate of the area is considered seasonal with 61% of the annual rainfall occurring in the months of January to March.
Based on the first 10 years of site rainfall data the MAP 2292 mm indicates the OzFlux site is slightly wetter than the nearby locations.
