TERN’s Mitchell Grass Rangeland SuperSite is near Longreach in western Queensland, in the Mitchell Grass Downs bioregion, which covers approximately 47 million hectares (14% of Queensland and 6% of Australia). Traditional owners at this site are the Iningai people.
Research using the Mitchell Grass Rangeland SuperSite is investigating the impact of long-term stocking densities on net primary productivity (NPP), carbon exchange and evapotranspiration from the Mitchell grasslands.
This dataset consists of measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer in arid tussock grassland using eddy covariance techniques.
Since its inception, TERN’s infrastructure has enabled the publication of more than 1600 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles or books.
