Boyagin Wandoo Woodland Panoramic Photopoint Image Collection

High quality digital images are captured using a digital SLR camera at the plots (core 1 hectare vegetation plot) at the TERN Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite using the panoramic photopoint method. The panoramic photopoint method may be the most informative in open forests/woodlands and rangelands. Three photopoints are established configured in an equilateral triangle (2.5m sides) with the centre marked with a star dropper and the location recorded with DGPS. At each photopoint take photographic sequences in a 360° panorama, with up to 40 photographs with a minimum 50% overlap between consecutive photographs. For more information about the method, see 
<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/2.1.4287.3607">White, el al. (2012) AusPlots Rangelands Survey Protocols Manual Version 1.2.9.</a> 

The Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSiteis in the Boyagin Nature Reserve, approximately 12 km west of Pingelly, Western Australia. This location is in the Avon Wheatbelt (AW2-rejuvenated drainage subregion) and has semi-arid (dry) warm Mediterranean climate. The Noongar people are the traditional owners at Boyagin. For additional site information, see https://https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/boyagin-wandoo-woodland-supersite/ .
 
Other images collected at the site include digital cover photography, phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed under and overstorey cameras, five-photopoint images and ancillary images of fauna and flora.

Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt Acoustic Data Collection - TERN

This dataset contains audio files for TERN Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt SuperSite. Long-term recordings of the environment can be used to identify sound sources of interest, characterise the soundscape, aid in the assessment of fauna biodiversity, monitor temporal trends and track environmental changes.


The site was established in 2010 in the Wombat State Forest in Central Victoria. The site is dry eucalypt forest with main species <em>Eucalyptus obliqua</em>, <em>Eucalyptus radiata</em> and <em>Euclayptus rubida</em>. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/wombat-stringybark-eucalypt-supersite/.


In 2013 an acoustic recorder was set up to collect audio data for a total of 12 hours per day, split between six hours around dawn and six hours around dusk. The recording schedule aimed at capturing morning and evening bird choruses while minimizing memory and battery requirements. Ther recorder was intially installed near the flux tower. In July 2017 it was moved to the centre of the core 1&nbsp;Ha plot. A long-term spectrogram has been generated for each audio file to aid in data exploration. The sensor also recorded temperature, minimum- maximum- and mean-sound pressure levels.

Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Total Phosphorus (3" resolution) - Release 2

This is Version 2 of the Australian Total Soil Phosphorus product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.

It supersedes the Release 1 product that can be found at https://doi.org/10.25919/7j78-md43

The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of total phosphorus in soils across Australia.

The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5&nbsp;cm, 5-15&nbsp;cm, 15-30&nbsp;cm, 30-60&nbsp;cm, 60-100&nbsp;cm and 100-200&nbsp;cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/Resources/GlobalSoilMap_specifications_december_2015_2.pdf). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90&nbsp;m pixels). An additional measure of model reliability is through assessment of model extrapolation risk. This measure provides users a spatial depiction where model estimates are made within the domain of the observed data or not.

Daintree Rainforest, Cow Bay Phenocam Images and Phenology Data Collection

Fixed cameras installed at TERN Daintree Rainforest SuperSite, Cow Bay provide a time series of fine scale data as a long-term record of vegetation structure and condition. This dense time series of phenocam images provides data for analysis of ecological responses to climate variability, and when consolidated across the entire terrestrial ecosystem research network, supports calibration and validation of satellite-derived remote sensing data, ensuring delivery of higher quality results for broader scale environmental monitoring products.


Images are captured half hourly during daylight hours. Images and data products, including timeseries of the Green Chromatic Coordinate (Gcc) for a region-of-interest (ROI) that delineates an area of specific vegetation type, are made available on an almost real-time basis.


TERN Daintree Rainforest SuperSite, Cow Bay is classed as complex mesophyll vine forest and has an average canopy height of 30 m. The site has 91 species with dominant canopy trees belonging to the <em>Arecaceae</em>, <em>Euphorbiaceae</em>, <em>Rutaceae</em>, <em>Meliaceae</em>, <em>Myristicaceae</em> and <em>Icacinaceae</em> families. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/daintree-rainforest-supersite/.

Seasonal cover deciles - Landsat, JRSRP algorithm, Australia Coverage

This product has been superseded and will not be processed from early 2023. Please find the updated version 3 of this product at https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/169dbb12-846f-4536-9dab-e31378d16b41. 

Two fractional cover decile products, green cover and total cover, are currently produced from the historical timeseries of seasonal fractional cover images. These products compare, at the per-pixel level, the level of cover for the specific season of interest against the long term cover for that same season. For each pixel, all cover values for the relevant seasons within a baseline period (1988 to 2013) are classified into deciles. The cover value for the pixel in the season of interest is then classified according to the decile in which it falls.
