Boyagin Wandoo Woodlands Stem Diameter, Height and Aboveground Woody Biomass Data
This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living and dead woody biomass calculations for a remnant Eucalyptus Wandoo woodland from 2018 - present. Diameter and height measurements for stems were sampled within the core 1 ha plot within the Boyagin Wandoo Woodlands site.

- Statement
- Tree survey:<br> A vegetation survey was carried out at the core 1 ha plot at the Boyagin Wandoo Woodlands site in 2018. Tree circumference, diameter at breast height and height were measured for all stems within the core 1 ha plot.<br> Biomass calculations:<br> The biomass of each stem was calculated using published using either generic or species-specific allometric equations (source): <br> Allocasuarina humilis (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Banksia nobilis (Eamus et al.,2000) <br> Banksia sessilis (Eamus et al.,2000) <br> Eucalyptus accedens (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Eucalyptus drummondii (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Eucalyptus loxophleba (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Eucalyptus wandoo (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Melaleuca sp (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Santalum spicatum (Paul et al., 2013) <br> Xanthorrhoea preisii (Fensham et al., 2002)<br> 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.
