Longreach Mitchell Grass Rangeland Flux Data Release 2024_v1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.17) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).

The flux station is located at Rosebank Station, approximately 11 km south-east of Longreach in Queensland. The site is arid tussock grassland with a variety of grass species including Astrebla lappacea and Astrebla squarrosa over black vertosol soil that supports sheep and beef cattle grazing. Traditional owners at this site are the Iningai people.

本数据集版本包含采用涡度协方差（eddy covariance）技术开展的地表与大气边界层间能量、物质交换通量塔观测数据。所有数据均按照Isaac等（2017）所述流程，使用PyFluxPro（v3.4.17）完成处理。PyFluxPro可生成经过间隙填充的最终数据集，将生态系统净交换（Net Ecosystem Exchange, NEE）划分为总初级生产力（Gross Primary Productivity, GPP）与生态系统呼吸（Ecosystem Respiration, ER）两个分量。

通量观测站位于澳大利亚昆士兰州朗里奇东南约11公里处的罗斯班克牧场。该站点为干旱丛生禾草草原，发育于黑色变性土之上，伴生有包括Astrebla lappacea与Astrebla squarrosa在内的多种禾本科植物，该草场用于绵羊与肉牛放牧。该站点的传统土地所有者为伊宁盖族群。
