Purpose

The primary purpose of the Howard Springs Flux Station is to understand the effects of fire on heat, moisture and carbon dioxide fluxes in Australia's tropical savannas. Other aims include:

• to examine the water and carbon exchanges of tropical savannas

• understand the process of carbon cycling and storage in tropical savannas

• provide longer term measurements for future projects.
