General Description:
- Sensible Heat Flux - 70.00 m unknown instrumentation
- Latent Heat Flux - 70.00 m unknown instrumentation
- CO2 Flux - 70.00 m unknown instrumentation
- Soil Heat Flux - 5 cm depth Rebs HFT-3
Bago State Forest, where Tumbarumba Flux station was established in March 2000,is a native forest of 50,000 ha that has been managed for wood production for over 100 years. It is a moderately open (Lai ~2.4), wet sclerophyll forest, 40 m tall, in which the dominant species are Eucalyptus delegatensis and Eucalyptus dalrympleana of mixed ages ranging up to 90 years.
