Long-running eddy covariance flux towers provide insights into how the terrestrial carbon cycle operates over multiple timescales. Here, we evaluated variation in net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO) across the Chequamegon Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study AmeriFlux core site cluster in the upper Great Lakes region of the USA from 1997 to 2020. The tower network included two mature hardwood forests with differing management regimes (US-WCr and US-Syv), two fen wetlands with varying levels of canopy sheltering and vegetation (US-Los and US-ALQ), and a very tall (400 m) landscape-level tower (US-PFa).

Article Synopsis
  • - The FLUXNET2015 dataset encompasses ecosystem-scale data on carbon dioxide, water, and energy exchange, collected from 212 global sites contributing over 1500 site-years of data until 2014.
  • - The dataset was systematically quality controlled and processed, facilitating consistency for various applications in ecophysiology, remote sensing, and ecosystem modeling.
  • - For the first time, derived data products such as time series, ecosystem respiration, and photosynthesis estimates are included, and 206 sites are made accessible under a Creative Commons license, with the processing methods available as open-source codes.
