|Purpose=FLUXNET, a global network administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in collaboration with international partners, provides funding, technical support, and data sharing for eddy covariance flux measurements to study carbon, water, and energy exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. It aims to advance climate change research, improve ecosystem modeling, and enhance understanding of global carbon cycles by supporting flux tower installations, data collection, and analysis for sites like AmeriFlux and AsiaFlux, available worldwide through open-access data portals, grants, and research partnerships. | |Purpose=FLUXNET, a global network administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in collaboration with international partners, provides funding, technical support, and data sharing for eddy covariance flux measurements to study carbon, water, and energy exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.

The '''FLUXNET''' program, established in 1997 under the Global Change Research Act of 1990 and expanded by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in partnership with regional networks like AmeriFlux and AsiaFlux to coordinate global flux research, allocating over $500 million since inception to support approximately 900 flux tower sites annually by 2025. Initially funded with $10 million, it has grown to distribute $50 million in FY 2025 across 900 initiatives, funding projects like carbon flux monitoring in the Congo Basin and energy exchange studies in Alaska at research sites worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://fluxnet.org |title=FLUXNET |publisher=FLUXNET}}</ref> Despite its impact, challenges like funding competition, site maintenance, and data integration persist (web ID: 1), but it remains a key interagency effort to advance climate science. | The '''FLUXNET''' program, established in 1997 under the Global Change Research Act of 1990 and expanded by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in partnership with regional networks like AmeriFlux and AsiaFlux to coordinate global flux research, allocating over $500 million since inception to support approximately 900 flux tower sites annually by 2025.
