The Victorian Dry Eucalypt SuperSite - Whroo site near Shepparton was established in 2011.  The vegetation is dominated by two main Eucalypt species: Eucalyptus microcarpa (Grey Box) and Eucalyptus leucoxylon (Yellow Gum). Smaller numbers of Eucalyptus sideroxylon (Ironbark) and Acacia pycnantha (Golden Wattle) are also found on site. The surrounding area includes the Whroo Historical area, and Rushworth State containing remnant native vegetation.\r\n\r\nKey research objectives include: \r\n\r\n\u2022\tWhat are the elements of structure, composition, functions and processes of the dry eucalypt forests of South Eastern Australia required for the sustainable management of these ecosystems? \r\n\r\n\u2022\tWhat is the carbon sink\/source strength of a dry sclerophyll forest and what is their contribution to Australia\u2019s National Carbon Inventory? \r\n\r\n\u2022\tWhat is the magnitude of emission and\/or uptake of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxide and methane of dry eucalypt forest? \r\n\r\n\u2022\tHow will climate variability, drought or fire influence the ecosystem processes of dry eucalypt forest?\r\n\r\n. The site is on the lands of the Ngurai-illam-wurrung Aboriginal people.
