TERN Ecosystem Surveillance: Fungi Occurrence

<p>This dataset lists the occurrence of fungi and their abundance identified at rangeland sites across Australia by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p>


<p>Fungi occurrences (i.e. a sample of a fungi at a particular point and time) are methodically identified at each site as part of the AusPlots Point intercept method. Fungi occurrences data can be aggregated across the site to calculate relative abundance, fungi ground cover.</p>

Purpose
<p>Collation of data from Australian Rangelands will:</p> <ul> <li>increase understanding of the dynamics of terrestrial species and soils;</li> <li>provide input into DNA barcoding of Australian vegetation;</li> <li>help understand the biogeography underpinning and threatening processes impacting Australian rangeland ecosystems;</li> <li>assist state and federal agencies to meet their monitoring and reporting obligations;</li> <li>enable researchers and land managers to assess current land 'state' for a variety of purposes depending on how the data is used;</li> <li>identify the climate zones, bioregions, land types and ecosystems where changes are occurring and the management regimes and/or pressures contributing to these changes. </li> </ul>
