Ashley Dene Wet 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 standard micrometeorological methods 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. Ashley Dene is a paired site, growing irrigated and non-irrigated lucerne <em>Medicago sativa L.</em>; until 2020, then converted to dairy pasture with rotational grazing. It is located on a research dairy station on the Mid-Canterbury plains, South Island, New Zealand, owned and managed by Lincoln University. The lucerne crops and the pivot-irrigation system were established in spring 2015. The flux sites began operating in 2015/16. The research is supported by the Endeavour Fund and the Strategic Science Investment Fund from New Zealand&rsquo;s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, and for the pasture phase also from the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre.

Karawatha Peri-Urban Acoustic Data Collection - TERN

This dataset contains audio files for Karawatha Peri-Urban SuperSite. Karawatha Peri-Urban SuperSite was established in 2007 and decommissioned in 2018. The site was located in eucalypt forest at Karawatha Forest. For additional site information, see <a href="https://deims.org/f15bc7aa-ab4a-443b-a935-dbad3e7101f4">Karawatha Peri-Urban SuperSite</a>


A recorder was initially set up for three months in 2012 to collect acoustic data across different plots within the site. A second recorder was set up in 2014. This collected audio data for a total of 12 hours per day, split between six hours around dawn and six hours around dusk. The recording schedule aimed at capturing morning and evening bird choruses while minimizing memory and battery requirements. A long-term spectrogram has been generated for each audio file to aid in data exploration. The sensor also recorded temperature, minimum- maximum- and mean-sound pressure levels.


Data are made available through the data link. For downloading large amount of data, please follow these instructions <a href="https://ternaus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TERNSup/pages/2530148353/How+to+download+TERN+s+acoustic+data+in+bulk">How to download TERN's acoustic data in bulk</a>

Beacon Farm Managed 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 standard micrometeorological methods 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.

There were two micrometeorological EC flux towers, at ca. 300 m distance from each other. One of them was in an irrigated, fertilised, rotationally grazed paddock (labelled "IFR" in file names), Fluxnet site name NZ-BFm. Measurements at this site ceased on 15 July 2015. Three site-years of data are available, with the last 33 days of the third year completely gap-filled.
The Beacon Farm flux site in Mid-Canterbury, New Zealand (204 m elevation) receives about 900 mm of annual rainfall and has a mean temperature of 10.9°C. Originally a deer farm, it was converted to intensive dairy farming in 2008/09, supporting around 850 cows with rotational grazing.

Kidman Springs fire experiment 1993-2013

This dataset provides understorey herbaceous biomass, ground cover and overstorey woody cover response to different fire regimes over a twenty year period at a grassland and open woodland in the tropical savannas of northern Australia. BOTANAL was used to assess understorey herbaceous biomass. Woody canopy cover was derived from digital analysis of oblique aerial imagery taken from a helicopter at the site in 1995 and again in 2013. Woody cover (tree basal area and canopy cover) was also assessed using a bitterlich gauge on BOTANAL ground based transects in 2009. The data could be used to calibrate models of herbaceous growth and woody cover change in response to long term fire. It may be useful for assessing climate change impacts on aboveground carbon sequestration. The fire regimes tested were of varying frequency (every 2, 4 and 6 years) and season (June vs. October) of fire compared to unburnt controls on woody cover and pasture composition. Sites were open to grazing by cattle.

Bat Call Recordings from Community Surveys in the City of Wanneroo, Western Australia (Jan - Apr 2025)

This dataset contains bat echolocation recordings collected as part of a community-based project within the City of Wanneroo, Western Australia, between January and April 2025. It comprises two complementary components: (1) reference calls recorded from hand-released individuals captured during targeted harp trapping events, and (2) acoustic transect survey calls recorded using Wildlife Acoustics Echo Meter Touch 2 detectors. Transect surveys were conducted along predetermined routes in bushland reserves. Reference calls provide verified species-level examples to support acoustic identification, while transect recordings capture species presence at each site and forms part of ongoing biodiversity monitoring. Each record includes metadata on location, date and time, and species. Species identifications were verified through a combination of trapping records, manual call analysis, and comparison with reference calls. The dataset forms part of a forthcoming publication examining community-based approaches to urban bat monitoring and biodiversity management.

Geomorphology of Victoria

This dataset provides a hierarchical framework of geomorphological spatial entities at three tiers (Tier 1 represents the coarsest scale, Tier 3 representing the finest scale). Over the last decade in Victoria, geomorphology has been used to create a hierarchical classification of landforms and landscapes, known as the Victorian Geomorphology Framework (VGF). The VGF is a spatial framework consisting of a hierarchical system of land unit descriptions. The framework hierarchy is a spatial system to assist planning, monitoring and reporting for natural resource management in Victoria and Australia. The VGF describes and defines details of Victorias landscapes and provides a hierarchy to align past and future soil and land information. The upper level (Tier 1) has 8 Divisions and approximates to a scale of 1:1 000 000 to 5 000 000. Tier 2 has 34 categories, approximating to a scale of 1:500 000 to 2 000 000 while Tier 3 has 95 categories approximating to a scale of 1:100 000 to 500 000. Many of the boundaries are derived from the aggregation of soil-landform units/land systems, forming a hierarchical land type, particularly in relation to landform.

The GMU250 layer includes soil erosion susceptibility assessments sourced from soil information contained in underlying regional studies which have been developed at regional scales of 1:100 000 or finer. The regional Land Resource Assessment (LRA) mapping at 1:100 000 scale effectively equates to the fourth tier of GMU mapping detail. As these units have been scaled up for use at the third tier, i.e. GMU250, it has meant a degree of generalisation across the LRA units. In these cases the dominant soil type, based upon maximum spatial extent, has been used for the susceptibility assessments.

More information on the geomorpohology of Victoria can be found on Victorian Resources Online (http://vro.depi.vic.gov.au/dpi/vro/vrosite.nsf/pages/landform_geomorphology#mapping).
