Purpose
Data not provided. 
Lineage
Sampling was conducted in the Calperum Mallee site in 2012 in 3 separate soil pits. CS650 soil temperature and moisture probes were installed at the six different depths within three pits: Pit A: Open clearing zone; most furthest from mallee vegetation. ~8m NE of Tower, Pit B: Spinifex grass zone; next to grass vegetation. ~9m E of Tower and Pit C: Mallee tree zone; beneath mallee trees with a soil cover of debris. ~8m S of Tower. 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Calperum Mallee site is in a mallee semi-arid ecosystem, fringing the River Murray floodplains on Calperum Station, near Renmark, South Australia. The area comprises undulating mallee woodlands and riverine vegetation alongside the river.
