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 (v3.4.15) 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 Digby Plantation flux station was installed in a recently planted blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) plantation near the town of Digby in western Victoria, Australia. The plantatiopn was establlished in August 2017 with a tree density of approximately 1000 trees per hectare. The seedlings were about 30 cm tall and the trees were about 11 m tall in July 2021. The equipment was installed on an extendable tower that was moved from 5 m at the beginning of the monitoring period to about 15 m at the end of the experiment, following the growth of the trees.
