Whroo Dry Eucalypt Site, Five Photopoint Image Collection

High quality digital site reference images are captured for the core 1 hectare vegetation plot of the site on an annual basis to provide context for researchers to understand the general layout and vegetation of the study site, and as a visual reference to monitor any changes over time. Photopoints are taken using the five point photo-point method. The set of images for usually consists of twenty images: four images taken at each corner of the plot facing each of the four cardinal points, and four images taken from the center of the plot facing each corner.

The site was established in 2010 in box woodland dominated by Eucalyptus microcarpa (grey box) and Eucalyptus leucoxylon (yellow gum). For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/whroo-dry-eucalypt-supersite/.
