Dataset Description

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-SRS Santa Rita Savanna. Site Description - The study site is located in the Santa Rita Experimental Range, approximately 45 km south of Tucson, Arizona, within the Sonoran Desert. The rangeland has undergone a shift from a semiarid grassland to a savanna due to the encroachment of the woody leguminous tree Prosopis velutina Woot., or velvet mesquite. A pair of adjacent watersheds of similar size ( 1.08 ha and 1.10 ha) was established to investigate the effects of mesquite removal on hydrologic processes. In 1974, diesel oil was applied basally to all trees in one watershed, with reapplication as needed and dead tree removal for wood, whereas the other watershed, where the flux tower is located, has continued in the woody plant encroachment process. In 2016, an herbicide process was applied to the area around the EC flux tower.
