Whroo 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).

The site is classified as box woodland, dominated by two main eucalypt species: <em>Eucalyptus microcarpa</em> (grey box) and <em>Eucalyptus leucoxylon</em> (yellow gum). The site has an elevation of 165&nbsp;m. Mean annual precipitation measured by the nearby Bureau of Meteorology site is 558&nbsp;mm. Maximum temperatures range from 12.6&nbsp;°C (in July) to 29.8&nbsp;°C (in January), while minimum temperatures range from 3.2&nbsp;°C (in July) to 14.2&nbsp;°C (in February). Maximum temperatures vary on a seasonal basis by approximately 17.2&nbsp;°C and minimum temperatures by 11.0&nbsp;°C.

The instrument mast is 36&nbsp;m tall. Heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide measurements are taken using the open-path eddy flux technique. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation are measured above the canopy. Soil heat fluxes are measured and soil moisture content is gathered using time domain reflectometry.

The Whroo site was offline from early 2023 to late 2024. To address the data gap, the two data sets are named Whroo1 (2011 – 2024) and Whroo2 (2025 – current).

TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Myoporum Assessment

The 2025 version is now superseded. Please find the 2026 version of this record here: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.25901/nxpr-eh69">Adelaide University &amp; Specht, A. (2026). TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Myoporum Assessment. Version 2.1. Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network. Dataset.</a>


In 1955, some young <em>Myoporum</em> seedlings were located in the reserve and it was decided to measure and record their progress. The plants are individually labelled with metal tags and given a unique alphanumeric identity. 

On each occasion, species ID, height, crown diameter N-S, crown diameter E-W, basal circumference, and comments on tree health are noted.The geolocation of each individual is recorded. Most of the records range from 1975 – 2011 with a maximum of 21 measurements between those years.

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 Alice Springs Mulga 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 a mixed <em>Acacia aneura</em> and <em>Acacia aptaneura</em> canopy, with a total standing biomass of 32.5 t/ha and median canopy height of 4.3&nbsp;m (tallest trees reach 8.9&nbsp;m height). Elevation of the site is 602&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 extent of the woodland is 11&nbsp;km to the east of the flux station and 16&nbsp;km to the south. The soil is characterised as a red kandosol (74:11:15 sand:silt:clay) overlying an approx. 50&nbsp;m deep water table. Pine Hill Station is a functioning cattle station that has been in operation for longer than 50 years.

Maximum temperatures range from 29.1&nbsp;°C (in June) to 37.6&nbsp;°C (in July), while minimum temperatures range from 14.6&nbsp;°C (in July) to 24.8&nbsp;°C (in November). Maximum temperatures vary seasonally by 8.5&nbsp;°C and minimum by 10.2&nbsp;°C.  The instrument mast is 15&nbsp;m tall. Heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide measurements are taken using the open-path eddy flux technique. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation are measured above the canopy. Soil heat fluxes are measured and soil moisture content is gathered using time domain reflectometry.  Ancillary measurements taken at the site include LAI, leaf-scale physiological properties (gas exchange, leaf isotope ratios, nitrogen and chlorophyll concentrations), vegetation optical properties and soil physical properties.

Great Western Woodlands Flux Data Release 2023_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 (v3.4.15) 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).

Great Western Woodlands (GWW) comprise a 16 million&nbsp;ha mosaic of temperate woodland, shrubland and mallee vegetation in south-west Western Australia. The region has remained relatively intact since European settlement, owing to the variable rainfall and lack of readily accessible groundwater. The woodland component is globally unique in that nowhere else do woodlands occur at as little as 220&nbsp;mm mean annual rainfall. Further, other temperate woodlands around the world have typically become highly fragmented and degraded through agricultural use. Great Western Woodlands Site was established in 2012 in the Credo Conservation Reserve. The site is in semi-arid woodland and was operated as a pastoral lease from 1907 to 2007. The core 1&nbsp;ha plot is characterised by <em>Eucalyptus salmonophloia</em> (salmon gum), with <em>Eucalyptus salubris</em> and <em>Eucalyptus clelandii</em> dominating other research plots. The flux station is located in salmon gum woodland.
