Point Intercept Survey of Foliar Canopy Cover, Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite, Core 1 ha, 2013

The dataset comprises measurements of projected foliar cover in the Core 1 ha plot at the Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite. The measurements were made using the point-intercept sampling method and are part of the standard set of vegetation measurements documented in the SuperSites Vegetation Monitoring Protocols (Australian SuperSites Network, 2015).

The data came from two measurement campaigns. The first done in June 2012 was in the original Core 1ha plot at Warra. The second done in October 2013 was in a 0.6 ha (60 x 100 m) extension to the western boundary of the original 1 ha plot. The 0.6 ha extension was installed to allow the creation of a “new” 1 ha Core plot in undisturbed forest within the footprint of the Warra Flux Tower. The new 1 ha Core Plot comprises the 0.6 ha extension and the western-most 0.4 ha (40 x 100 m) of the original plot.
