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 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 Yarramundi Irrigated Paddock site is located near Richmond, NSW (GPS coordinates -33.620812, 150.763284). The site is about 3 km east of the Cumberland Plain Woodland flux tower. The climate is warm-temperate, with annual rainfall averaging 728 mm, mean maximum temperature in January of 30.4 °C, and mean minimum temperature in July of 3.6°C (BOM station 067105). The elevation of the site is about 20 m asl and the topography is flat. The soil is sandy loam in texture, organic carbon content is <1%, and nutrient availability is moderate in the top 10 cm; iron concretions below 50 cm indicate poor drainage at times. The vegetation canopy is up to 1 m tall, and the plant community is dominated by exotic herbaceous perennials, including Digitaria sanguinalis, Bromus catharticus, Echinochloa crus-galli, Setaria parviflora, Eleusine indica, Conyza sumatrensis, Chenopodium album and Trifolium repens.Fluxes of water vapour, carbon dioxide and heat are quantified with the open-path eddy flux technique from a 2.5 m tall mast. Additional measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, rainfall and net radiation, and photographs are taken several times per day to track canopy greenness. Irrigation water quality has higher nutrient and sodium levels than natural precipitation because the source is recycled wastewater.
