<br>The carbon balance of NSW forests project is part of the NSW Forest Monitoring and Improvement Program. The Mullion Group was engaged to develop a spatial time-series dataset of forest carbon history for the state of NSW at ~25&nbsp;m resolution. The project used FLINTpro software to integrate historical environmental and land management data to model carbon stock and fluxes. This dataset details the annual total forest carbon stock which is the sum of aboveground, belowground and dead organic matter carbon stocks. Aboveground biomass refers to the amount of carbon stored within aboveground forest components (pools) which includes leaves, branches, bark and stems. Belowground biomass refers to the amount of carbon stored within belowground forest components (pools) which includes coarse and fine roots. Dead organic matter refers to the amount of carbon stored within dead forest components (pools) which includes leaf litter, branch litter, bark litter, stem litter, and dead roots. Harvested wood products in use refers to the amount of carbon stored in wood products (excluding wood products in landfill). Harvested wood products in use are included in carbon stock and flux results, but excluded from spatial outputs. Carbon stored within soil is not included within any of these datasets.</br> <br>This dataset supersedes <a href="https://portal.tern.org.au/metadata/TERN/57abd38f-eb38-4868-a2ea-072aec1b9176">NSW Forest Carbon Stock - Aboveground, Belowground and Dead Organic Matter Carbon Mass 1990-2020</a></br>

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for a Eucalyptus dominated woodland from 2012 - present. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled within the core 1 ha plot within the Whroo Dry Eucalypt site.

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for a Mallee Eucalypt dominated woodland from 2015 - present. Diameter and height measurements for stems were sampled within the core 1 ha plot within the Calperum Mallee site.

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for a Stringybark Eucalypt dominated woodland. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled in 2014 and 2018 within the core 1 ha plot within the Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt site.

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for stems located in the Alice Mulga core 1ha plot, from 2014 - present.

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for an Australian tropical rainforest. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled in 2012, 2018 and 2023 within a 1 ha plot within the Daintree Rainforest Cow Bay site.

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement, basal area and above ground living biomass calculations for all stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height located in the Litchfield Savanna site.

This dataset presents the demographic monitoring (growth and survival) of 81 tree species based on repeated stem measurement data from 20, 0.5 ha (100 m x 50 m) permanent moist forest plots in northern Queensland, Australia from 1971 to 2019, as well as four additional plots of 0.1 to 1 ha whose monitoring began in the 2000s. The plots have a rainfall range of 1200 to over 6000 mm, represent eleven vegetation types, six parent materials, and range from 15 m to 1500 m above sea level. Except for minor disturbances associated with selective logging on two plots, the plots were established in old growth forest and all plots have thereafter been protected. Plots were regularly censused and at each census the diameter at breast height (DBH) of all stems ≥10 cm DBH were recorded. We only report the data for the 81 species studied in Bauman et al. 2022 (Nature), here. We also provide the climatology of these plots as well as the temperature, vapour pressure deficit, and maximum climatological water deficit of all intervals separating consecutive censuses, as used in the analyses of Bauman et al. 2022.

The record contains information on litterfall data from four 1-hectare plots from the Great Western Woodlands site collected in 2014. Data on total litter weights from fifteen litter traps in each of four 1-ha study plots and crown canopy cover percent is provided.
