Panoramic Forest Photographs from Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite

Holding high-quality digital images captured using the panoramic photopoint method at the TERN Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite. The site, established in 2012, is located in a mixed-aged Eucalyptus obliqua forest and experienced a fire in January 2019. Images are captured in 360° panoramas with up to 40 photographs per photopoint.

Use Cases

• Analyze forest structure and understorey changes using panoramic photopoint sequences before and after the 2019 fire.
• Monitor post-fire seedling regeneration and ground-layer recovery through time-series comparisons of photographic sequences.
• Study the application of the panoramic photopoint method for ecological monitoring in tall, mixed-aged Eucalyptus obliqua forests.

Strengths

• Images are captured using a standardized panoramic photopoint method with up to 40 photographs per 360° panorama.
• The site provides a long-term ecological context, having been established in 2012 and documented through a major fire event in 2019.
• Photopoints are established in a precise equilateral triangle configuration with DGPS-recorded locations.

Limitations

• The dataset consists of static image files (PNG, HTML) without structured metadata or a defined tabular format for automated analysis.
• Sample data and the total number of images (rows) are unavailable, making the dataset's scale and completeness unclear.
• The license is unspecified, which may create uncertainty for commercial or redistribution use cases.
