Purpose

The purpose of the Ridgefield Flux Station is to:

• Monitor and determine the balance of environmental demands for water yields, agricultural productivity, GHG budgets and biodiversity within a catchment landscape.

• Provide information to establish a modelling tool for GHG and water fluxes across various land use types, in order to benefit land management practices in the wheatbelt of Western Australia.

The tower is a crucial component of the UWA critical zone observatory which will be the site of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the landscape dynamics.
