This terrestrial LiDAR dataset captures detailed vegetation structural information at the Cumblerland Plain Woodland SuperSite in Western Sydney, Australia. The purpose of this data is to enhance understanding of vegetation dynamics and ecosystem function in the region. The dataset is part of a broader collection of Terrestrial LiDAR data acquired from all TERN SuperSites, aimed at achieving a standardized and highly detailed capture of 3D vegetation structure across Australia.

This work was jointly funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project, CSIRO and the University of Queensland. This work was also supported by an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (DE190101182).
Cumberland Plain flux station is managed by the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at Western Sydney University and was funded by the Education Investment Fund and TERN. 
Purpose
Terrestrial LiDAR measurements can be used to assess vegetation structure, create 3D reconstructions, and perform terrain surface analysis.
