TERN Ecosystem Surveillance: Plant Population

<p>This dataset lists the parameters associated with plant population from Rangeland sites across Australia described by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p> <p> For each species in the plot, their basal area is derived using the TERN basal wedge across different spatial points in the plots, are described using AusPlots basal sweep sampling points methods. Other recorded information includes the number of sampling points. Species identification is updated once confirmed by Herbaria records. Plant population data can be aggregated across the site to calculate relative species abundance, species- growth form- and -community-level basal area. In addition, TERN has derived the IUCN and EPBC conservation status of each tree species under study following the latest status listed in their databases.</p>
