This data contains maximum vegetation height collected from airborne full waveform lidar and hyperspectral data in the VNIR bands in the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt site in 2012

The record contains information on the Digital Elevation Model of the Alice Mulga site. Information an Airborne full waveform lidar and hyperspectral data in the VNIR bands was collected using the research aircraft of Flinders University – Airborne Research Australia (ARA).

The record contains images of elevation profile of the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt Site obtained from Airborne full waveform lidar and hyperspectral data in the VNIR bands using the a research aircraft of Flinders University – Airborne Research Australia (ARA).

Dronescape Dataset Description <br></br> Dronescape is a research infrastructure initiative within TERN that integrates uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing techniques into Australia's terrestrial ecosystem monitoring framework. The project addresses critical spatio-temporal gaps between field-based measurements and satellite observations by deploying UAV systems carrying RGB, 10-band multispectral, and LiDAR sensors across TERN's surveillance monitoring plot network. Through standardized protocols and automated processing workflows, Dronescape generates analysis-ready products including orthomosaics, reflectance maps, vegetation indices, and 3D point clouds.<br></br> As of 2025, the project has surveyed over 120 plots across multiple bioregions, with ongoing expansion to additional monitoring sites. Each plot covers approximately 90,000 m², contributing to a continuously growing dataset that enables long-term monitoring of Australia's diverse vegetation communities.<br></br> Project Scope <br></br> <ul><li>Coverage: More than 120 plots across multiple bioregions (ongoing expansion) </li> <li>Plot Size: Approximately 90,000 m² per monitoring site </li> <li>Temporal Scale: 2–10 year monitoring cycles </li> <li>Data Types: RGB, 10-band multispectral, and LiDAR</li></ul>

Data is provided for fourteen native forest plots in NSW measured in April 2021 during a pilot of potential field measurement methods for the state-wide forest plot network as part of the NSW Forest Monitoring and Improvement Program. Data includes tree height, diameter, canopy cover, species composition, coarse woody debris, fuel hazard, Biodiversity Assessment Method structure, as well as raw and processed data from terrestrial LiDAR scans.
