    Vertical plant profiles for the Australian continent were derived through integration of ICESat GLAS waveforms with ALOS PALSAR and Landsat data products. Co-registered Landsat Foliage Projected Cover (FPC) and ALOS PALSAR L-band HH and HV mosaics were segmented to generate objects with similar radar backscatter and cover characteristics. Within these, height, cover, age class and L-band backscatter characteristics were summarised based on the ICESat and Landsat time-series and ALOS PALSAR datasets.

    The forest fuel survey dataset comprises site-level summary data from the well-designed fuel load surveys across 48 AusPlots Forests- 1-ha monitoring plots across Australia. Data presented here includes: [1] Site identifiers (ID and Site Name) and site location and site-specific notes from fuel survey campaign; [2] site survey dates (start date and end date); [3] Site climatic information (air temperature and relative humidity); [4] Average height of plants and the stem densities in those sites; [5] Fuel bed biomass measurements that include live or dead grass, shrub, vines cover; [6] Litter, Fine Woody and Coarse Woody Debris stocks and production; [7] Soil Nutrient concentration (Soil Carbon, Soil Hydrogen and Soil Nitrogen contents); [8] Duff depth and cover.
