Fletcherview Tropical Rangeland Flux Data Collection

Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer at Fletcherview Research Station in Queensland using eddy covariance techniques. Fletcherview Tropical Rangeland SuperSite was established in 2021 at James Cook University’s Fletcherview Research Station, a fully operational outback cattle station located 50 km west of Townsville, Queensland. The site is used for cattle grazing and is characterised by tall open savanna. The vegetation is dominated by native grasses such as blackspear and kangaroo grasses, as well as introduced species like buffel grass, signal grass and leucaena. Fletcherview typically experiences a dry and wet season, with most rainfall occurring between January and April.
