Full description

The Howard Springs understory flux station is located in the Black Jungle Conservation Reserve in the Northern Territory: 12?29.712' S, 131?09.003' E (-12.4952,131.1501) The flux tower site is classified as an open woodland savanna. The overstory is co-dominated by tree species Eucalyptus miniata and Eucalyptus tentrodonata, and average tree height is 14?16m. Elevation of the site is close to 64m and mean annual precipitation is 1750mm. Maximum temperatures range from 30.4?C (in July) to 33.2?C (in November), while minimum temperatures range from 19.3?C (in July) to 25.4?C (in November).
