TERN Ecosystem Surveillance: Disturbance
<p>This dataset lists the parameters associated with disturbance from Rangeland sites across Australia described by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p>
<p> For each site, the disturbance parameters such as erosion type, state of erosion, extent of erosion is studied following the AusPlots Plot Description protocol and becomes an important part of understanding the site disturbance in the AusPlots Rangelands.</p>

- Purpose
- <p>Collation of data on site disturbance from Australian Rangelands will provides significant background information to gain an appreciation of the plot history, topography, position in the landscape and for understanding the likely relationship between the soils, vegetation and fauna.</p>
