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 site is located within an area of dryland agriculture. The surrounding area is dominated by broadacre farming practices. The vegetation cover is predominantly pasture. Elevation of the site is close to 152 m and mean annual precipitation at a nearby Bureau of Meteorology site measures 650 mm. Maximum temperatures range from 12.3 °C (in July) to 29.7 °C (in February), while minimum temperatures range from 10.4 °C (in July) to 26.8 °C (in February). The instrument mast is 4 m tall. Heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide measurements are taken using the open-path eddy flux technique. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall and net radiation are measured. Soil heat fluxes are measured and soil moisture content is gathered using time domain reflectometry. AU-Rig Eddy Covariance dryland agriculture pasture Beringer J., Hutley L. B., McHugh I., Arndt S.
