TERN Ecosystem Surveillance: Land Surface

This dataset lists land surface characteristics observed in Rangeland sites across Australia by the TERN Ecosystem Surveillance team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies.
Land surface observations are collected at each site as part of the AusPlots method. At each site, observations on ground cover, lithology, erosion (state, extent, and human accelerated), surface drainage, microrelief, aspect and angle are recorded as part of the Ausplots Ground cover and Plot description methods.

本数据集收录了由陆地生态系统研究网络（Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network，TERN）生态监测团队采用标准化AusPlots方法，在澳大利亚全境牧地样地中观测获取的地表特征数据。
地表观测数据作为AusPlots方法的组成部分，在每个样地中完成采集。在每处样地中，研究人员将依照AusPlots地表覆被与样地描述方法，记录地表覆被、岩性、侵蚀（涵盖侵蚀状态、侵蚀范围及人为加速侵蚀）、地表排水状况、微地形起伏、坡向与坡度等观测信息。
