This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for a Eucalyptus dominated woodland from 2015 - present. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled within the core 1 ha plot within the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt site. 
Credit
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 work was funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project. 
Purpose
This dataset records tree diameter and height data used to calculate above-ground biomass across vegetation types in Australia. This data is important for mapping and monitoring changes in plant growth, carbon storage and terrestrial energy fluxes. 
Lineage
Tree survey:
Diameter at breast height and height of all trees in the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt site, Core 1 ha was determined along 10 transects of 100 m length and 10 m width.
Biomass calculation:
Aboveground biomass were estimated using both Eucalypt and Acacia specific allometric equations
Allometric equations for Eucalypts were sourced from Raison et al (unpublished data) in Keith et al., 2000.
Acacia specific equations were sourced from Paul et al 2013.
The aboveground biomass for dead stems was calculated using the following equation: biomass (kg) * height (m) / (-0.0061*height(m) ^2 + 1.018*height (m)) (pers.comm William Woodgate). 
Method DocumentationData not provided.
Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt site is located in the Bago State Forest, near Batlow New South Wales. The vegetation within the site is classified as open wet sclerophyll Eucalypt forest.
