Australian Plant Biomass Library - Mangrove Component

Persistent URL Biomass Plot Library - National collation of stem inventory data and biomass estimation, Australian field sites

TERN's Australian Plant Biomass Library (APBL) is a collation of stem inventory data across federal, state and local government departments, universities, private companies and other agencies. At the time of Version 1.0 publication 1,073,837 hugs of 839,866 trees across 1,467 species had been collated. This has resulted from 16,391 visits to 12,663 sites across most of Australia's bioregions. Data provided for each project by the various source organisation were imported to a PostGIS database in their native form and then translated to a common set of tree, plot and site level observations with explicit plot footprints where available.

Currently, there is a lack of historical tree-level measurements relating to mangroves within the APBL. If you would like to contribute tree level mangrove data, then please contact richard.lucas@unsw.edu.au/richard.lucas@aber.ac.uk.
