TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve Photopoint Data from 1926 to 2024

The TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve in Koonamore, Australia, contains a collection of annual photographs and observations from fixed photopoints, spanning from 1926 to 2024. University of Adelaide staff and students captured these images, which include annotations on visible species, plant counts, and occasional measurements of canopy diameter and height. This version 2.1 release updates date formats and clarifies data anomalies.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term vegetation change based on annual photographic records from fixed points.
• Studying plant species population dynamics based on annotated species identification and counts.
• Modeling plant growth and mortality patterns based on recorded canopy diameter and height measurements.
• Assessing landscape recovery or degradation over time based on the visual record from transects and quadrats.

Strengths

• Photographic record spans nearly a century, from 1926 to 2024.
• Data includes annotations for species identification and plant counts.
• Version 2.1 includes standardized ISO date formats and clarified anomalies.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
