The Area of Applicability (AOA) describes the area to which a predictive model can reliably be applied, based on the predictor space covered by the underlying training data. It was evaluated following the approach proposed by Meyer and Pebesma (2021).<br></br> The JRSRP seasonal surface reflectance composites between winter 2014 and winter 2024 were used as a proxy for the range of representative surface reflectance values likely to be encountered across the continent under varying environmental conditions from which fractional cover predictions are made. The AOA of the FCv3 model was computed for each seasonal surface reflectance composite, then summarised as a frequency map representing the proportion of seasons that a location was outside the AOA.<br></br> For each state, five files are provided: an annual product summarising the AOA across all seasons, and four showing seasonal AOA frequencies for summer, autumn, winter, and spring.<br></br>

<p>This dataset lists land surface substrate characteristics observed in Rangeland sites across Australia by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p> <p>Land surface substrate observations are collected at each site as part of the AusPlots Point intercept method. At each site, observations on the substrate type (e.g. rock, coarse woody debris, litter) are recorded on transect laid out on the plots. These records form the basis for ground cover derivation, see the AusPlots Ground cover and Point intercept methods below.</p>

<p>This dataset listed landform characteristics (i.e. visible features of a land area) observed in Rangeland sites across Australia by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p> <p>Landform observations are recorded at each site as part of the AusPlots Plots and Physical Descriptions method. Observations on the landform elements and their patterns are recorded as part of this protocol.</p>

We used Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) technologies combined with the real-time collations of soil attribute data from TERN's recently developed Soil Data Federation System, to produce a map of Australian Soil Classification Soil Order classes with quantified estimates of mapping reliability at a 90&nbsp;m resolution.

<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>

<p>This dataset lists the plant communities from Rangeland sites across Australia described by the TERN Surveillance Monitoring team, using standardised AusPlots methodologies. </p> <p> 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.</p> <p>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.</p>

This is Version 1 of the Australian Soil Effective Cation Exchange Capacity product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.<br><br> The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5&nbsp;cm, 5-15&nbsp;cm, 15-30&nbsp;cm, 30-60&nbsp;cm, 60-100&nbsp;cm and 100-200&nbsp;cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project (https://esoil.io/TERNLandscapes/Public/Pages/SLGA/Resources/GlobalSoilMap_specifications_december_2015_2.pdf). The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90&nbsp;m pixels).<br><br> These maps are generated by combining the best available Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) products available across Australia.<br><br> <ul style="list-style-type: disc;"><li>Attribute Definition: Cations extracted using barium chloride (BaCl2) plus exchangeable H + Al;</li> <li>Units: meq/100g;</li> <li>Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013;</li> <li>Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90&nbsp;m);</li> <li>Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18;</li> <li>Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800);</li> <li>Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY);</li> <li>Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications;</li> <li>Format: Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF;</li></ul>
