Gingin FLUXNET 2026: Energy and Mass Flux Tower Data from Australian Woodland

FLUXNET Shuttle project data from a native Banksia woodland site 70km north of Perth, Western Australia. This release contains gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER), processed with ONEFlux software. Measurements include fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat, plus ancillary atmospheric and soil data from a 14.8m tower.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) dynamics based on gap-filled carbon flux data.
• Analyzing ecosystem water use based on water vapor flux and soil moisture measurements at six depths.
• Studying energy balance based on incoming/outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation data.
• Investigating groundwater-vegetation interactions based on water table and piezometer measurements.

Strengths

• Data processed with established PyFluxPro and ONEFlux methodologies as cited in Isaac et al. (2017) and Pastorello et al. (2020).
• Includes a wide range of ancillary measurements: temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, radiation, PAR, and soil heat fluxes.
• Site description provides specific ecological context: 7m canopy height, leaf area index of ~0.8, and Podosol soils with 8-10% field capacity.

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.
