Version 2.0 data contains stem diameter, height, and aboveground biomass calculations for an Australian tropical rainforest. Measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter were sampled within 25 one-hectare plots from 2009 to the present. Repeated measurements of individual trees in a core plot were conducted in 2010, 2015, 2019, and 2023, with biomass calculated in megagrams per hectare.
Use Cases
- Modeling aboveground carbon sequestration based on repeated tree biomass measurements.
- Analyzing tropical rainforest growth patterns using stem diameter and height data from 25 plots.
- Calibrating remote sensing biomass estimates with ground-survey data from a large area.
Strengths
- Repeated measurements of individual trees across four survey years (2010, 2015, 2019, 2023) enable longitudinal analysis.
- Data covers a large area with sampling across 25 one-hectare plots.
- Biomass calculations are updated in version 2.0 using allometric equations.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
