Fletcherview Tropical Rangeland Flux Data Release 2026_v1

Fletcherview Tropical Rangeland Flux Data Release 2026_v1 consists of flux tower measurements processed with PyFluxPro (v3.4.23). The data were collected at the Fletcherview Tropical Rangeland SuperSite, a cattle station established in 2021 and located 50 km west of Townsville, Queensland. It provides gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).

Use Cases

• Modeling carbon sequestration potential based on partitioned Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).
• Studying seasonal energy exchange dynamics in a tropical rangeland based on flux tower measurements.
• Analyzing the impact of cattle grazing on ecosystem respiration and productivity in a tall open savanna.
• Calibrating earth system models using eddy covariance data from a native and introduced grass ecosystem.

Strengths

• Data are processed into a final, gap-filled product using the PyFluxPro (v3.4.23) software as described by Isaac et al. (2017).
• Provides partitioned carbon flux components (GPP and ER) derived from Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE).
• Site location and ecosystem characteristics (tall open savanna, dominant grass species, seasonal climate) are specifically described.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-05-22 07:42:59.867299.
