A single quad sensor camera installed at the ALTAR Brigalow Belt Banana 1 site provides a near 360° photo record of land management events and a long-term record of vegetation condition and composition.
This dense time series of images provides data for analysis of ecological responses to climate variability, and when consolidated across the entire terrestrial ecosystem research network, supports calibration and validation of satellite-derived remote sensing products, ensuring delivery of higher quality results for broader scale environmental monitoring products.

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. This research site is managed by the Queensland University of Technology. This work is jointly funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project.

Purpose
Time series of vegetation phenological observations are collected to understand ecosystems annual cycles. Phenological time series can be used for ground-truthing remote sensing data products, for studies of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, and as a standard for Earth system models.
