Description

Digital Cover Photography (DCP) upward-looking images are collected three times per year to capture vegetation cover at Gingin Banksia Woodland SuperSite. These images can be used to estimate Leaf Area Index (LAI).

The Gingin Banksia Woodland SuperSite was established in 2011 and is located in a natural woodland of high species diversity with an overstorey dominated by banksia species.

Other images collected at the site include digital hemispherical photography (DHP), photopoints, phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed under and overstorey cameras, and ancillary images of fauna and flora.

This work was funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project. Gingin Banksia Woodland site was established by CSIRO and is now managed by Edith Cowan University. The site is co-located with the Land Ecosystem Atmosphere Program (LEAP) - Gingin.

Purpose
The data from Digital Cover Photography (DCP) at Gingin Banksia Woodland were collected to capture vegetation cover, which can be utilised to estimate Leaf Area Index (LAI),as well as other metrics.

Lineage

Images were taken along nine 100-meter transects with a 10-meter gap between them, all within a 1-hectare core area. Along each transect, photos were taken every 10 meters, resulting in a total of 81 images. This method provided a systematic way to cover the area and collect data on vegetation structure.
