TERN Surveillance Monitoring Program: Plant Community
<br>This dataset lists the plant communities from Rangeland sites across Australia described by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. <br />
<br> For each plant community, vegetation condition as well as the spatial extent of the community, are described using AusPlots Plot and physical descriptions, and Structural summary and homogeneity methods.<br />
Plant specimen, soil, basal area and structural information are also assessed at each site and form part of the TERN Surveillance Monitoring Program data collection.<br />

- 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; <br />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.
