Samford Peri-Urban Stem Diameter, Height and Aboveground Woody Biomass Data
This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for an open Eucalypt and notophyll vine forest. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled within a 1 ha plot within the Samford Peri-Urban site.

- Potential diameter and height outliers were assessed by looking at the absolute difference in 1) diameter and 2) height values for each individual stem between two measurement time points. If the diameter or height difference for an individual falls outside the 3rd standard deviation of the mean of that species, then it was flagged as a potential outlier.
Report
Result
- Statement
- All potential outliers were assessed by researchers who collected the data. Any value that was considered to be an outlier was removed from the final dataset.
Resource lineage
- Statement
- Tree survey:<br> All individual stems ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height (1.3 m) were mapped within each 20 x 20 m subplot to an accuracy of 0.5 m. Heights are recorded to the nearest 1 metre for each measured stem and are recorded as the length of the stem from ground to highest leaf, not height above ground level. Heights for easily visible and larger stems are measured using a Nikon laser range finder. <br> Biomass calculation:<br> Above-ground biomass was calculated for each stem >10 cm diameter at breast height using the allometric equation from Chave et al 2014: Chave, J., Réjou-Méchain, M., Búrquez, A., Chidumayo, E., Colgan, M.S., Delitti, W.B., Duque, A., Eid, T., Fearnside, P.M., Goodman, R.C., Henry, M., Martínez-Yrízar, A., Mugasha, W.A., Muller-Landau, H.C., Mencuccini, M., Nelson, B.W., Ngomanda, A., Nogueira, E.M., Ortiz-Malavassi, E., Pélissier, R., Ploton, P., Ryan, C.M., Saldarriaga, J.G. and Vieilledent, G. (2014), Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees. Glob Change Biol, 20: 3177-3190. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.12629. Biomass of dead stems was calculated using a reduction factor of 85% of alive biomass (Bennett et al., 2013) Note: both alive and dead stems are included in the site level calculation of above ground woody biomass.
