Calperum Chowilla Flux Data Collection

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in a semi-arid mallee ecosystem north of the River Murray near Chowilla using eddy covariance techniques.   
The Calperum Chowilla site was established in July 2010 and is managed by the University of Adelaide (UA), coordinated by Prof Wayne Meyer and Prof David Chittleborough of the Landscape Futures Program as part of the Environment Institute. This is a former sheep grazing property that has been destocked and is being managed as a conservation area in this type of ecosystem. The landscape is flat with a series of low east–west sand dunes. The dunes are remnants of a previous dry era and are mostly now stabilised by mallee (multi-stemmed Eucalypt trees) and various shrubs. It is a semi-arid environment fringing the River Murray floodplains of the Riverland.For additional site information, see http://www.landscapescience.org/. 
This data is also available at http://data.ozflux.org.au .

TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Senna Populations

In 1997, many very young <em>Senna</em> seedlings were noticed in the Cassia corner and outside the northern boundary fence. To study the effects of grazing on these seedlings outside the reserve, three populations were identified and measured to the north of the fence, and a fourth population just south of the fence in the Reserve, not otherwise enclosed. 

Two of the outside populations were enclosed in triangular fences, one with sheep netting to protect from grazing by sheep, the other with both sheep and rabbit netting to protect against both sheep and rabbits. A third population was left unprotected. The population inside the Reserve was assumed to be protected from all grazing by the Reserve fence. The aim was to follow the fates of the original cohort. 


This is version 2.1 of the TGB Osborn Senna Population data release and supersedes any previous versions.
