This year, OzFlux 2016 was held at the Calperum Station managed by Australian Landscape Trust. At the Calperum flux tower, the site is steadily recovering since the bushfire in January 2014.
The site of the Calperum flux tower on the Calperum Station in the Mallee north of Renmark. The mallee are growing new shoots from the base.
In the foreground is a mallee seedling now struggling to grow because of the water limited environment. Since the fire, there are swards of Stipa grass.
