Abstract

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-PMm Puerto Morelos mangrove. Site Description - The tower was located at the “Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín” Botanical Garden. The surface monitored is covered with basin mangrove (sporadically flooded wetland) that grows in a fringe parallel to the northeastern coast (ca. 1 km) of the Yucatan Peninsula. The dominant species are Rhizophora mangle and Conocarpus erectus, which grow intertwined and relatively stunted (max tree height is 5m). Under the influence of trade winds and frequent stroms. The vegetation is regenerating after complete defoliation due to hurricane Wilma (cat. 4) passing in October 2005. The site is sporadically flooded by rainfall soil saturation excess; there are no marine surface water inputs but ground water level fluctuations show tidal signals. The terrain of the monitored surface is flat, while the area downwind of the tower presents a slope which corresponds to an ancient coast line. There is extensive urban development in the coastal dune along the coast mainly for tourism use (Mayan Riviera).

AmeriFlux MX-EMg El Mogor

Dataset Cueva, Alejandro ; López-Reyes, Eulogio ; Bullock, Stephen H.

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-EMg El Mogor. Site Description - The vegetation is Mediterranean-climate closed shrubland on sandy soils. Eddy flux measurements began in 2008, 20 years after the last wildfire. The site has been grazed lightly and sporadically.
AmeriFlux MX-Lpa La Paz

Dataset Oechel, Walter

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-Lpa La Paz. Site Description - As evident by some very large Cardon (5-7 meters), according to Coyle and Roberts, 1975, extent vegetation has likely been around at least 200 years. Until about 15 years ago from 1996, site was used for livestock production and selective firewood extraction. However, when I look over the fence where there has been livestock activity, not much difference
AmeriFlux MX-Ray Rayon, monsoon subtropical shrubland

Dataset Watts, Chistopher J. ; Rodriguez, Julio C.

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).
AmeriFlux MX-Tes Tesopaco, secondary tropical dry forest

Dataset Yepez, Enrico A. ; Garatuza, Jaime

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site MX-Tes Tesopaco, secondary tropical dry forest. Site Description - This tower was located in the "Ejido la Estrella" where the eddy covariance tower is located 7.5 km east of the town Rosario de Tesopaco, in southeastern Sonora, Mexico. The tower was positioned in the center of a homogeneous flat terrain at the foothills of the Madre Occidental. This ecosystem lies in a highly seasonal region under the influence of the North American Monsoon that brings about 70% of the rains from July to September. The site ismore »« less
