AmeriFlux MX-Ray Rayon, monsoon subtropical shrubland

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-Ray Rayon, monsoon subtropical shrubland. Site Description - Precipitation during the NAM season (July–September) is approximately 76% of the annual total at the site (Vivoni, Rodríguez, et al., 2010) leading to a peak in vegetation greenness in the month of August (Méndez‐Barroso et al., 2009). Site vegetation is composed of drought‐deciduous trees and shrubs, including torote papelío (Jatropha cordata), tree ocotillo (Fouquieria macdougalii), acacia (Acacia cochliacantha), palo verde (Parkinsonia praecox), Mexican mimosa (Mimosa distachya), and velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina) as well as organpipe cactus (Stenocereus thurberi).

本数据集为AmeriFlux（美国通量网）中MX-Ray Rayon站点的碳通量数据版本，该站点地处季风亚热带灌丛地带。站点概况——该站点在北美季风季（North American Monsoon，NAM，7月至9月）的降水量约占全年总降水量的76%（Vivoni、Rodríguez等，2010），由此使得植被绿度在8月达到峰值（Méndez‐Barroso等，2009）。该站点植被由耐旱落叶乔灌构成，涵盖托特纸皮树（torote papelío，Jatropha cordata）、树状澳木（tree ocotillo，Fouquieria macdougalii）、旋卷金合欢（Acacia cochliacantha）、早花扁轴木（palo verde，Parkinsonia praecox）、墨西哥含羞草（Mimosa distachya）、绒毛牧豆树（Prosopis velutina）以及风琴管仙人掌（Stenocereus thurberi）
