TERN Ecosystem Surveillance: Plant Population

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.

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.

本数据集收录了由澳大利亚TERN监测团队采用标准化AusPlots方法（AusPlots Methodologies）所描述的全澳牧场样地的植物种群相关参数。
针对样地内的每一物种，研究人员通过在样地不同空间点位使用TERN楔形测基器（TERN basal wedge）获取其基盖度，该采样流程遵循AusPlots基扫采样点方法（AusPlots basal sweep sampling points methods）。其余记录内容还包含采样点总数。物种鉴定将在获得标本馆（Herbaria）的确认记录后完成更新。可对样地内的植物种群数据进行汇总统计，以计算物种相对多度、物种生长型以及群落水平的基盖度。此外，TERN还依据其数据库中收录的最新名录，推导得出本研究涉及的各树种的IUCN及EPBC保护现状。
