Longreach Mitchell Grass Rangeland Flux Data Release 2023_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 (v3.5.0) 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.

本数据集包含利用涡度协方差技术（eddy covariance）开展的地表与大气边界层（atmospheric boundary-layer）间能量与物质交换的通量塔观测数据。数据按照Isaac等人（2017）所述方法，借助PyFluxPro（v3.5.0）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）。

该通量站坐落于昆士兰州朗里奇（Longreach）东南约11公里处的罗斯班克牧场（Rosebank Station）。场地为干旱丛生草原，生长有包括Astrebla lappacea与Astrebla squarrosa在内的多种禾本科植物，其依托的黑色变性土（black vertosol）可用于绵羊与肉牛放牧。本场地的传统所有者为伊宁盖（Iningai）族群。
