Great Western Woodlands Carbon Flux Measurements from 2012

Flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere using eddy covariance techniques. The dataset contains processed, gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. Data were produced by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project, with the latest release in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) dynamics in a low-rainfall temperate woodland.
• Partitioning carbon flux into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) for ecosystem carbon budget analysis.
• Analyzing long-term trends in energy and mass exchange from a site active since December 2012.
• Calibrating remote sensing products with ground-truth eddy covariance flux data from a specific GPS coordinate.

Strengths

• Data processed using established PyFluxPro and ONEFlux software pipelines.
• Continuous measurements from a flux station active since December 2012.
• Site located in a globally unique, intact temperate woodland region of 16 million hectares.

Limitations

• Geographic scope is limited to a single site at GPS coordinates -30.1913, 120.6541.
• Sample data, row count, and specific column details are unavailable for review.
