AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-Seg Sevilleta grassland

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Seg Sevilleta grassland. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Seg Sevilleta grassland produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The Sevilleta Desert Grassland site is located within the McKenzie Flats area of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), central New Mexico. Historically, this area has been used for livestock grazing; however, the McKenzie Flats have not been grazed since 1973 and the effects of this previous grazing are considered negligible for the purposes of this study. As the name suggests, McKenzie Flats is an extensive (~130 km2), nearly flat, mixed-species desert grassland bounded on the east by Los Pinos Mountains and on the west by the Rio Grande. This site experienced a severe burn in August 2009.

AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-Dix Fort Dix

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Dix Fort Dix. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Dix Fort Dix produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The Fort Dix site is located in the upland forests of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, the largest continuous forested landscape on the Northeastern coastal plain. Upland forests occupy 62% of the 1.1 million acre Pine Barrens and can be divided into three dominant stand types, Oak/Pine (19.1%), Pine/Oak (13.1%), and Pitch Pine/Scrub oak (14.3%). The majority of mature upland forests are the product of regeneration following late 19th century logging and charcoaling activities. Gypsy moths first appeared in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey in 1966. Since the time of arrival, the upland forest stands have undergone several episodes of defoliation, the most significant occurred in 1972, 1981, and 1990. In recent years, the overstory oaks and understory oaks and shrubs of the Fort Dix stand, underwent two periods of defoliation by Gypsy moth, in 2006 and 2007. During these two years, maximum leaf area reached only 70% of the 2005 summer maximum.

AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-Ton Tonzi Ranch

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Ton Tonzi Ranch. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Ton Tonzi Ranch produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The Tonzi Ranch is located on the lower foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The site is classified as an oak savanna woodland (Davis et al, 2016) and is situated on privately owned land. This site is representative of the oak savanna ecosystem that rings the Great Central Valley of California and inhabits the lower reaches of the Sierra Nevada foothills. This ecosystem is a natural laboratory for studying how ecosystem scale carbon and water fluxes respond to environmental change. The temperatures range between 0 and 40 C, the autumn, winter and spring are wet and cool, while the summer growing season is hot, dry and rainless. The overstory is dominated by blue oak trees (40% of total vegetation) with intermittent grey pine trees (3 trees/ha). Understory species include a variety of grasses and herbs, including purple false brome, smooth cat's ear, and rose clover. These two distinctive layers operate in and out of phase from one another. Growing season of the understory is confined to the wet season only, typically from October to early May. In contrast, the deciduous blue oak trees are dormant and leafless during the rainy winter months. The trees tend to leaf out in March and reach maximum LAI in April. During the rainless summers, the grasses in the understory die and the leaves experience soil moisture deficit stress References Davis, F., et al. (2016). "Oak woodlands." Ecosystems of California: 509–529.

AmeriFlux FLUXNET-1F US-Oho Oak Openings

This is the AmeriFlux Management Project (AMP) created FLUXNET-1F version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Oho Oak Openings. This is the FLUXNET version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Oho Oak Openings produced by applying the standard ONEFlux (1F) software. Site Description - The Ohio Oak Openings site is located within the Oak Openings Preserve Metropark of northwest Ohio, one of the few remaining oak woodlands/savanna/prairie complexes in the Midwest. Declared one of the "One of America's Last Great Places" by the Nature Conservancy the area consists of four main vegetation types: Oak Woodlands, Oak Savanna, Floodplain Forests and Wet Prairies. The stand surrounding the tower is mainly Oak Woodlands dominated by red, white and black oaks with a relatively abundant population of red maples indicating high soil moisture retention and a history of limited fire disturbances. Most of the area was cleared for agriculture at the time of Euro-American settlements in the mid to late-19th century. A large fraction of the cleared land was later abandoned due to the poor sandy soils. These areas reverted to Oak Savannas and in cases where fire was limited progressively made the transition to Oak Woodlands. Today patches of the forest are burned every few years as part of prescribed burning cycle to control stand density.
