Data were processed using PyFluxPro as described by Isaac et al. (2017) for the quality control and post-processing steps. The final, gap-filled product containing Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) has been produced using the ONEFlux software as described in Pastorello et al (2020). This data set has been produced as part of the FLUXNET Shuttle project. The Wallaby Creek flux station was located in Kinglake National Park, Victoria, Australia (−37.429, 145.1873), about 45 km northeast of Melbourne at ~720 m elevation within an IUCN Category II protected area. The site lay on the southern edge of the Hume Plateau in a catchment dominated by Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans), the world’s tallest flowering plant. Forest stands of 20, 80, and 300 years reflected past fire history, with the tower situated in an old-growth stand. The region has a cool, temperate climate (4.7–22.5°C; ~1209 mm annual rainfall), frequent fog, and elevations between 460–1100 m. Soils were mainly organic-rich krasnozemic types, varying with altitude and increasing in clay content with depth. Vegetation was tall, wet sclerophyll forest with a ~75 m canopy, a rainforest understorey, and dense fern layers. Bushfires in 2009 destroyed the tower. Data collection resumed from 2010 to 2016, with reduced instrumentation compared to pre-fire conditions. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[145.1773, -37.439], [145.1973, -37.439], [145.1973, -37.419], [145.1773, -37.419], [145.1773, -37.439]]]} 145.1773 145.1973 -37.439 -37.419 AU-Wac FLUXNET ID Isaac P., Cleverly J., McHugh I., van Gorsel E., Ewenz C. and Beringer, J.
