Ti Tree East Flux Data Release 2024_v1

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 (v3.4.17) 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 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 characterised 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&nbsp;mm - 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).

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 Cow Bay flux station is located in lowland tropical rainforest at the Daintree Discovery Centre near Cow Bay in Far North Queensland (GPS coordinates: -16.238189, 145.427150; elevation: 86 m).The Cow Bay flux station commenced continuous collection of data in December 2008. The flux system is located on an existing tourist tower at the Daintree Discovery Centre at Cow Bay, directly adjacent to Daintree National Park, within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.The site is flanked to the south-west by coastal ranges rising to 400 m and to the east by the Coral Sea. The red clay loam podzolic soils are of metamorphic origin and have good drainage characteristics. The Cow Bay site is gently sloping but the fetch area makes the site one of very complex terrain.The forest is classed as complex mesophyll vine forest (type 1a) and has an average canopy height of 25 m. The dominant canopy trees belong to the Arecaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rutaceae, Meliaceae, Myristicaceae and Icacinaceae families. It is continuous for several kilometres around the Cow Bay Tower except for an area 800 m north-east of the tower, which is cleared agricultural land used for a cattle farm. A 1 Ha census plot is located in immediate proximity to the flux tower.Annual average rainfall at the site is around 3700 mm and is strongly seasonal, with 68% falling between January and April (wet season).

<strong>Daintree Discovery Centre</strong>The flux station is located at the 23 m level viewing platform on the visitor tower at the Daintree Discovery Centre external link. The visitor centre has seen over 1 million visitors visit since it was set up in 1989 by Pam and Ron Burkett. The DDC is recognised as a leader in ecotourism in the Daintree and has won numerous state, national and international awards including the International Award for Ecotourism (Skal Congree, Budapest 2009). In 2016 the DDC was sold to the Aboriginal Development Benefits Trust (ADBT). The ADBT helps to develop indigenous community, youth and entrepreneurship programs within the Lower Gulf region.The flux tower is managed by James Cook University.

Tumbarumba 1 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 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 Tumbarumba flux station is located in the Bago State forest in south eastern New South Wales (GPS coordinates: -35.6566, 148.1517)The forest is classified as wet sclerophyll, the dominant species is alpine ash (<em>Eucalyptus delegatensis</em>), and average tree height is 40m. Elevation of the site is 1200m and mean annual precipitation is 1000mm. The Bago and Maragle State Forests are adjacent to the south west slopes of southern New South Wales and the 48,400 ha of native forest have been managed for wood production for over 100 years.The instrument mast is 70m tall. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation. Profiles of temperature, humidity and CO2 are measured at seven levels within the canopy. Soil moisture content is measured using Time Domain reflectometry, while soil heat fluxes and temperature are also measured. Hyperspectral radiometric measurements are being used to determine canopy leaf-level properties.

<strong>Bushfire Disturbance</strong>On New Year's Eve 2019 (31/12/2019) a bushfire swept through the Bago State Forest with a moderate severity burn (full understorey consumption but no canopy consumption). Prior to the fire, the forest had been growing without major disturbance over a period of almost 40 years, enabling study of its response to ongoing smaller disturbances such as insect outbreaks, droughts, normal weather fluctuations and internal stand dynamics.The regrowth forest is structurally and functionally different to pre-fire conditions. The fast ground-fire caused nearly 100% mortality of the ash tree species, where the mountain gum (<em>Eucalyptus dalrympleana</em>) species resprouted with epicormic growth. There are high levels of ash regenerating from seedlings and other eucalypt trees (mountain gum and peppermint) are rapidly re-sprouting. There were around 10 months of data gap after the fire.

TREND (PSRF) vegetation plot data 2011

The TREND (PSRF)- Terrestrial Ecosystems project initiated a landscape-scale monitoring transect along the Adelaide Geosyncline region in southern Australia, initially spanning approximately 550 km. The aim was to examine spatial drivers of species composition and to isolate the influence of climate on whole vegetation community composition and therefore inform on-going monitoring of the impact of climate change. Specific questions were: 1. What are the most important spatial drivers of species and phylogenetic composition along landscape-scale environmental gradients? 2. Can the answer to Question 1. inform selection of suitable spatial analogues for climate change? 3. How can a framework for assessing spatial drivers be used to monitor and interpret shifts in species composition due to climate change? 
The dataset consists of site and species records (see attachments) for plots established along the Adelaide Geosyncline for the TREND project. Data consist of vascular plant species composition (presence-abundance/absence) within 900m2 plots plus site data, including aspect and soil properties. Data have been used to analyze changes in composition with geographic and environmental differences and as a baseline for monitoring.

Litchfield Flux Data Release 2025_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 (v3.4.21) 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).
 
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.

about 200km southeast from Perth, Western Australia (GPS coordinates: -32.5061, 116.9668; elevation: 330m). The Future Farm 2050 Project is based on UWA Farm Ridgefield. The Project's vision is to imagine the best-practice farm of 2050 and build and manage it now (http://www.ioa.uwa.edu.au/future-farm-2050). The site is established in a typical wheat field (a dominant managed land use type in Western Australia) and in an area that has been subject to extensive clearing. We will contrast this with a native vegetated system and explore the past, present and future GHG budgets of these systems.
The flux tower site is located within an area of dryland agriculture. The surrounding area is dominated by broadacre farming practices. The vegetation cover is predominantly pasture. Elevation of the site is close to 330m and mean annual precipitation at a nearby Bureau of Meteorology site at Pingelly measures 446mm.
Maximum temperatures range from 15.3°C (in July) to 31.9°C (in Jan), while minimum temperatures range from 5.5°C (in July) to 15.5°C (in Jan).
The instrument mast is 10 meters tall. Heat, water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane measurements are taken using the open-path eddy flux technique. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and net radiation are measured. Soil heat fluxes are measured and soil moisture content are collected.
