Description

This data contains leaf area index calculated from Digital Cover Photography images taken at the Calperum Mallee core 1-ha site between 2013 - 2015.

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.

Purpose
Leaf area index is the preferred measure of cover for vegetation and is a key variable used in total biomass estimation and in carbon cycling prediction models.

Lineage
Digital cover photography images were taken at the Calperum Mallee core 1-ha plot between 2013 - 2015. For complete methodology of plot set-up, image collection and leaf area calculation, please see attached Karan, M. (2020). SuperSites Vegetation Monitoring Protocols v 1.21.
