| Site Name: | Nimmo Plains |
| Description: | The Nimmo High Plains flux station is located in high elevation (1340m), sub-alpine grassland in southern NSW. The site is a naturally occurring open grass/herb-field classified as sod tussock grassland. The dominant species is comprised of various Poa spp. Surrounding the open grasslands are ridge top distributions of Eucalyptus pauciflora spp. niphophila/Eucalyptus pauciflora spp. pauciflora. This site is seasonally grazed and also hosts additional seasonal campaigns looking at soil derived fluxes of greenhouse gases and additional measures of evapotranspiration (i.e. scintillometer measurements) The instrument tripod is 3m tall with a supplemental 4m guyed mast for radiation sensors. Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapour and heat are quantified with open-path eddy covariance instrumentation. Ancillary measurements include temperature, air humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, incoming and outgoing shortwave radiation, incoming and outgoing long wave radiation, incoming total and diffuse PAR and reflected PAR. Soil water content and temperature are measured at six soil depths. Surface soil heat fluxes are also measured. |
