Ti Tree East Flux Data Collection

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer at Pine Hill cattle station in the Northern Territory using eddy covariance techniques.  The Ti Tree East flux station is located on Pine Hill cattle station, approx. 170&nbsp;km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The woodland is characterized by an <em>Acacia aneura</em> canopy, with very isolated <em>Corymbia </em>sp. present. The total standing biomass in the TERN core hectare plot is 27.5 t/ha, and the median canopy height is 4.3 m (<em>Corymbia opaca</em> reach 12.3 m height). Elevation of the site is 553&nbsp;m above sea level, and the terrain is flat. Mean annual precipitation at the nearby (45&nbsp;km distant) Bureau of Meteorology station is 311-140&nbsp;mm (1986-2025), but has ranged between 33&nbsp;mm in the hydrological years of 2018/2019 to 712&nbsp;mm in 2016/2017 since the tower is operational. Predominant wind directions are from the southeast and east. The footprint of the flux tower is heterogeneous, with over 80% of the measured fluxes sourced from a small mulga woodland east of the tower and the remainder contributed by an open grassland with widely spaced <em>Corymbia opaca</em> to the west. The soil is characterised as a red kandosol (91:8:1 sand:silt:clay) overlying an approx. 8&nbsp;m deep water table. Pine Hill Station is a functioning cattle station that has been in operation for longer than 50 years. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon are measured using the open-path eddy covariance technique at 9.8&nbsp;m. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature and humidity (9.8&nbsp;m), downwelling and upwelling shortwave and longwave radiation (9.8&nbsp;m). Precipitation is monitored in a canopy gap near the tower (1.3&nbsp;m). Supplementary measurements below the canopy include barometric pressure (1&nbsp;m) and temperature and humidity (2&nbsp;m). Below ground soil measurements are made in bare soil and include ground heat flux (0.16&nbsp;m depth), soil temperature (0.02&nbsp;m &ndash; 0.16&nbsp;m depth) and soil moisture (0.02 &ndash; 0.16&nbsp;m, 0.35&nbsp;m, 0.60&nbsp;m and 0.85&nbsp;m depth).

Seasonal Persistent Green - Landsat, JRSRP Algorithm, Australia Coverage

This product has been superseded and will not be processed from early 2023. Please find the updated version 3 of this product at https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/dd359b61-3ce2-4cd5-bc63-d54d2d0e2509. 

An estimate of persistent green cover per season. This is intended to estimate the portion of vegetation that does not completely senesce within a year, which primarily consists of woody vegetation (trees and shrubs), although there are exceptions where non-woody cover remains green all year round. It is derived by fitting a multi-iteration minimum weighted smoothing spline through the green fraction of the seasonal fractional cover (dim) time series.

Haematology of the Sleepy Lizard (Tiliqua rugosa) in Australia's cereal croplands, 2010

The qualities of these data include: (i) sound experimental design to detect a change between confounding factors, (ii) large sample size, (iii) microchipped animals, (iv) validated heamatological processing on the wild Australian lizard Tiliqua rugosa involving a collaboration between wildlife ecologists and veterinary scientists. Its reuse potential may involve a comparative analysis of body size, haematological parameters with other long-lived, medium-sized lizards, ectoparasite studies (Aponomma hydrosauri, Amblyomma libatum) for different host populations, and background justification for ecotoxicological (pesticide) studies in farmland. Using a using a multivariate, one-way nested Type I PERMANCOVA (analysis of covariance) design, body size, blood samples and ectoparasite presence was collected on a total of 119 animals from two different populations in southern Australia. One population was from an intensively managed cropping environment and one was from an adjacent a less intensively managed grazing environment. This study took place in extensive rangelands and the fragmented landscapes of the South Australian Murray Mallee cereal cropland in southern Australia. Adult and juvenile T. rugosa were captured for sampling at one rangeland (baseline) site and three severely modified (severe) landscape-scaled sites (LS1, LS2, LS3) over a large area (68 km × 84 km or 571,200 ha) across the croplands. Two animal sampling designs were used to collect data on physiological health (Design 1: Baseline vs Severe and Design 2 - Severe only). Data collected: Record No., Animal No., Treatment, Habitat Type, Landscape No., Connectivity Class, Age Class, Linear Body Size Index (LBSI), Heterophil (H) Field of View, Heterophil per microlitre, Total White Blood Cell Count, Absolute Heterophil Count, % Heterophil Count, Absolute Lymphocyte (L) Count, % Lymphocytes, H:L Ratio (Absolute), H:L Ratio (%), Absolute Monocytes, % Monocytes , Absolute Other Granulocytes , % Other Granulocytes, % Polychromasia, Snout-Vent Length (mm), Total No. Ectoparasites per Animal.

Linear Seasonal Persistent Green Trend - Landsat, QLD DES Algorithm, QLD and NT Coverage

The linear seasonal persistent green trend is derived from analysis of the seasonal persistent green product over time. The current version is based on the 1987-2014 period. 
Seasonal persistent green cover is derived from seasonal fractional cover using a weighted smooth spline fitting routine. This weights a smooth line to the minimum values of the seasonal green cover. This smooth minimum is designed to represent the slower changing green component, ideally consisting of perennial vegetation including over-storey, mid-storey and persistent ground cover. The seasonal persistent green is then summarized using simple linear regression, and the slope of the fitted line is captured in this product. The original units are percentage points per year. Values are later truncated and scaled.

For more information about the processing levels, see <a href="https://github.com/OzFlux/PyFluxPro/wiki">https://github.com/OzFlux/PyFluxPro/wiki</a>.
  
The Loxton site was established in August 2008 and decommissioned in June 2009. The orchard was divided into 10 ha blocks (200 m by 500 m with the long axis aligned north–south) and the flux tower was situated at 34.47035°S and 140.65512°E near the middle of the northern half of a block of trees. The topography of the site was slightly undulating and the area around the tower had a slope of less than 1.5°. The orchard was planted in 2000 with an inter-row spacing of 7 m and a within row spacing of 5 m. Tree height in August 2008 was 5.5 m. The study block consists of producers, Nonpareil, planted every other row, and pollinators planted as alternating rows of Carmel, Carmel and Peerless, and Carmel and Price. All varieties were planted on Nemaguard rootstock. All but 31 ha of the surrounding orchard was planted between 1999 and 2002. Nutrients were applied via fertigation. Dosing occurred between September and November and in April with KNO3, Urea, KCl, and NH4NO3 applied at annual rates of 551, 484, 647, and 113 kg/ha, respectively. The growth of ground cover along the tree line was suppressed with herbicides throughout the year. Growth in the mid-row began in late winter and persisted until herbicide application in late November. 
The research was supported with funds from the National Action Plan for Salinity via the Centre for Natural Resource Management, and the River Murray Levy.This data is also available at http://data.ozflux.org.au .
