Queensland Biodiversity and Ecology Information System (QBEIS)

The QBEIS survey database (formerly CORVEG) contains ecosystem physical and vegetation characteristics, including structural and floristic attributes as well as descriptions of landscape, soil and geologic features, collected at study locations across Queensland since 1982. The resulting survey database provides a comprehensive record of areas ground-truthed during the regional ecosystems mapping process and a basis for future updating of mapping or other relevant work such as species modelling.

Only validated survey data is made publicly available and all records of confidential taxa have been masked from the dataset.
Data is accessible from the TERN Data Infrastructure, which provides the ability to extract subsets of vegetation, soil and landscape data across multiple data collections and bioregions for more than 100 variables including basal area, crown cover, growth form, stem density and vegetation height.

QBEIS调查数据库（前身为CORVEG）收录了自1982年起在昆士兰州各研究点位采集的生态系统物理与植被特征数据，涵盖结构属性、植物区系属性（floristic attributes），以及景观、土壤与地质特征的相关描述。该调研数据库完整记录了区域生态系统制图流程中经地面验证的区域范围，可为后续制图更新或物种建模等相关研究工作提供基础支撑。
仅通过验证的调研数据将对外公开，所有涉密分类单元（taxa）的记录均已在数据集中完成脱敏处理。
该数据集可通过TERN数据基础设施（TERN Data Infrastructure）获取，该平台可针对基面积（basal area）、冠层盖度（crown cover）、生长型（growth form）、茎密度（stem density）及植被高度等100余个变量，跨多个数据集集合与生物地理区提取植被、土壤及景观数据的子集。
