Purpose
This dataset records tree diameter and height data used to calculate above-ground biomass across vegetation types in Australia. This data is important for mapping and monitoring changes in plant growth, carbon storage and terrestrial energy fluxes.

Statement
Tree survey:<br> The 1 ha plot was divided into 100 subplots (10 x 10 m). All individual stems ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height (1.3 m) were mapped within each 10 x 10 m subplot. 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. <br> Biomass calculation:<br> Above-ground biomass was calculated for each stem >10 cm diameter at breast height using published using either generic or species-specific allometric equations (source): <br> Banksia species (Eamus et al.,2000) <br> Eucalyptus todtiana (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Melaleuca sp (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Nuytsia floibunda (Paul et al., 2013) <br>
