Collie FLUXNET Release 2026_r1

Eddy covariance flux tower measurements from a wandoo woodland site near Collie, Western Australia, processed using PyFluxPro and ONEFlux software. The University of Western Australia managed the instrumentation, which collected data from August 2017 to November 2019. The final product includes gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) dynamics based on gap-filled carbon flux data.
• Partitioning ecosystem respiration from gross primary productivity using the ONEFlux methodology.
• Analyzing the relationship between soil moisture/temperature and carbon/water fluxes.
• Studying seasonal climate patterns (precipitation, temperature) and their impact on woodland energy exchange.

Strengths

• Data processed with established quality control and post-processing pipelines (PyFluxPro, ONEFlux).
• Includes gap-filled final products for key carbon cycle metrics (NEE, GPP, ER).
• Site metadata is detailed, including precise GPS coordinates (-33.420, 116.237), elevation (384m), and local climate statistics.
• Measurements cover multiple variables: heat, water vapor, CO2, temperature, humidity, wind, and soil parameters.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data collection period is limited to approximately 27 months (Aug 2017 - Nov 2019).
