Gingin Flux Data Release 2022_v2

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 (v3.4.7) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).

The Gingin site was established in June 2011 by CSIRO and is now managed by Edith Cowan University Centre for Ecosystem Management. The site is a natural woodland of high species diversity. The overstorey is dominated by <em>Banksia</em> spp. mainly <em>Banksia menziesii</em>, <em>Banksia attenuata</em>, and <em>Banksia grandis</em> with a height of around 7&nbsp;m and leaf area index of about 0.8. There are occasional stands of eucalypts and acacia that reach to 10&nbsp;m and have a denser foliage cover. There are many former wetlands dotted around the woodland, most of which were inundated all winter and some had permanent water 30 years ago. The watertable has now fallen below the base of these systems and they are disconnected and are no longer permanently wet. The fine sediments, sometimes diatomaceous, hold water and they have perched watertables each winter. There is a natural progression of species accompanying this process as they gradually become more dominated by more xeric species. The soils are mainly Podosol sands, with low moisture holding capacity. Field capacity typically about 8 to 10&nbsp;%; and in summer these generally hold less than 2&nbsp;% moisture. The water table is at about 8.5&nbsp;m below the surface, and a WA Dept of water long-term monitoring piezometer is near the base of the tower. The instrument mast is 14.8&nbsp;m tall, with the eddy covariance instruments mounted at 14.8&nbsp;m. Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapour and heat are quantified with open-path eddy covariance instrumentation. Ancillary measurements include temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, incoming and outgoing shortwave radiation, incoming and outgoing long wave radiation, incoming total and diffuse PAR and reflected PAR. Soil water content and temperature are measured at six soil depths. Surface soil heat fluxes are also measured. A COSMOS Cosmic ray soil moisture instrument is installed, along with a logged piezometer, and nested piezometers installed with short screens for groundwater profile sampling. To monitor the watertable gradient, piezometers will be installed 500&nbsp;m east and west of the tower.

Biological Surveys of South Australia, Vegetation Surveys

The Biological Databases of South Australia (BDBSA) is South Australia's flora and fauna database that stores and manages specimen and observation records.  This record is a subset, focusing on the methodology known as the 'Biological Survey of South Australia Vegetation Surveys' and forms an important component of the BDBSA.  This dataset includes vegetation structural attributes, observations on individual plants such as stem diameter, growth form, plant height, and plant community measures such as crown density, canopy cover, as well as plant occurrence data. Preliminary data associated with site description that include soil and landform related parameters are also included in this record. The resulting dataset provides a comprehensive record of plant diversity across sites ground-truthed during a diverse range of biological survey projects undertaken in South Australia and provides a basis for future updating of mapping or other relevant work such as species modelling.


Only validated BDBSA data is made publicly available and all records of sensitive taxa have been masked from the dataset. Data is accessible from the TERN Data Infrastructure, which provides the ability to extract subsets of vegetation data across multiple data collections and bioregions for more than 31 variables including stem diameter, tree crown extent, and number of individual plants.

Monthly Blended Ground Cover - Landsat and Sentinel-2, JRSRP Algorithm Version 3.0, Queensland Coverage

The monthly blended ground cover product is a spatially explicit raster product that shows the proportion of bare ground, green and non-green ground cover at medium resolution (30&nbsp;m per-pixel) for each calendar month across Queensland from 2017 to present. It is derived directly from both the Landsat-based fractional cover product and the Sentinel-2-based fractional cover product by Queensland's Remote Sensing Centre. 
A 3 band (byte) image is produced: 
band 1 - bare ground fraction (in percent),  
band 2 - green vegetation fraction (in percent),  
band 3 - non-green vegetation fraction (in percent).  
The no data value is 255.


This product is derived from the <a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/8d3c8b36-b4f1-420f-a3f4-824ab70fb367 ">Monthly blended fractional cover - Landsat and Sentinel-2, JRSRP algorithm Version 3.0, Queensland coverage</a>

Located in a 5 km2 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 km2 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.
