This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-Ray Rayon, monsoon subtropical shrubland. Site Description - Precipitation during the NAM season (July–September) is approximately 76% of the annual total at the site (Vivoni, Rodríguez, et al., 2010) leading to a peak in vegetation greenness in the month of August (Méndez‐Barroso et al., 2009). Site vegetation is composed of drought‐deciduous trees and shrubs, including torote papelío (Jatropha cordata), tree ocotillo (Fouquieria macdougalii), acacia (Acacia cochliacantha), palo verde (Parkinsonia praecox), Mexican mimosa (Mimosa distachya), and velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina) as well as organpipe cactus (Stenocereus thurberi).
