This FLUXNET data set is freely available and is furnished for use by the research
community. Please kindly inform the site investigators of how you are using the 
data and of any publication plans. If the PI or members of their team feel that
they should be acknowledged or offered participation as authors, they will let 
you know, and we assume that an agreement on such matters will be reached before
publication. If you work directly competes with that of the PI's investigation
team they may ask that they have the opportunity to submit a manuscript before
you submit one that uses unpublished data.

Pelase acknowledge the data source (either the PI or the FLUXNET Web Site at the 
ORNL DAAC) as a citation or in the acknowledgments if the data are not yet
published. In addition, when publishing, please acknowledge the agency that 
supported the flux tower research. Lastly, we kindly request that those 
publishing papers using FLUXNET data please provide preprints / reprints to
the scientists providing the data and to the data archive at the ORNL DAAC.

If you have any questions, please contact the ORNL DAAC:

Fair-Use Guidelines

All data users, including Fluxnet-Canada participants and non-participants,

Data users must inform the PIs who collect the data (or their designates) 
of their specific data analysis plans, and confirm that these plans are not in 
conflict with the PIs own research and publication plans. The PI who collected 
the data has first right to publish results from these data and must agree to 
waive this right prior to another party publishing material based on these data. 
Publications or presentations must not use unpublished data without the prior 
agreement and proper acknowledgement of the PI. 
      
They must agree not to distribute the data to others.

They must agree to give proper acknowledgement to the PI and the data 
collection team, including the offer of co-authorship when the data comprise a 
significant component of any publication. In addition, all publications that use 
Fluxnet-Canada data must acknowledge Fluxnet-Canada.

They must absolve the PI and data collection team of any responsibility 
for inadvertent errors in the data that lead to wrongful analysis and improper 
decision-making.
