TERN Surveillance Monitoring program: Plant specimen

This dataset lists plant species vouchered for identification from Rangeland sites across Australia by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies.

Plant specimens are methodologically collected at each site as part of the AusPlots <a href=" http://linked.data.gov.au/def/ausplots-cv/1d39b897-d6d3-40e9-8113-8ebeab2cd38e">Vegetation vouchering</a> method. Recorded information includes the site, date of collection and a voucher barcode. The specimen data is updated with the identification date and authority details when species identification is confirmed by the Herbaria.

Plant population and community, soil, basal area and structural information are also assessed at each site. See <a href=" https://linkeddata.tern.org.au/viewer/ausplots/"> AusPlots Rangelands Vocabularies</a> for a list of parameters collected.

Purpose: Collation of data from Australian rangelands will: increase understanding of the dynamics of plant species and soils; provide input into DNA barcoding of Australian vegetation; help understand the biogeography underpinning and threatening processes impacting Australian rangeland ecosystems; assist state and federal agencies to meet their monitoring and reporting obligations; enable researchers and land managers to assess current land 'state' for a variety of purposes depending on how the data is used; identify the climate zones, bioregions, land types and ecosystems where changes are occurring and the management regimes and/or pressures contributing to these changes.
