Flux Tower Measurements from Semi-Arid Eucalypt Woodland

This release contains flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmospheric boundary-layer in semi-arid eucalypt woodland, processed using the PyFluxPro (v3.3.0) software. The data includes final, gap-filled products with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER). The station is located at Rosebank Station, approximately 11 km south-east of Longreach in Queensland.

Use Cases

• Analyze Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) dynamics in arid tussock grassland to model carbon cycling.
• Partition NEE into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) to study ecosystem metabolism.
• Study energy flux measurements from eddy covariance techniques to understand surface-atmosphere interactions in semi-arid regions.
• Model the impact of sheep and beef cattle grazing on flux tower variables like GPP and ER.

Strengths

• Data processed to a final, gap-filled product using the established PyFluxPro (v3.3.0) methodology.
• Includes key ecosystem exchange metrics: Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).
• Site is precisely located at Rosebank Station, approximately 11 km south-east of Longreach, Queensland.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count, column count, file size) is unknown, limiting assessment of analytical scope.
• Data is available in HTML and PNG formats, which may be less convenient for quantitative analysis compared to structured tabular formats.
• The license is listed as 'notspecified', which creates uncertainty for downstream use and redistribution.
