Observing Environmental Change in Australia
This book is an accessible guide to ecosystem science and its underpinning research infrastructure and is designed for upper secondary and early tertiary level students.
It is designed to fill the gap between technical textbooks requiring prerequisite knowledge and TV environmental documentaries that tend to concentrate on the most dramatic landscapes and/or charismatic presenters.
Giants Under Threat report
The Warra TERN SuperSite is Australia’s longest running Long Term Ecological Research site and has also been one of the most scientifically productive over the past two decades. Scientific research conducted at Warra has underpinned real improvements in forest practices and an improved understanding of the tall forest biome and its response to disturbances.
Dr Wardlaw’s report, and the scientific research supporting it, presents strong evidence of the clear and present danger of climate change to this biome.
Ecosystem Surveillance Monitoring summary reports
TERN’s soil and vegetation monitoring plots are located on a range of land tenures, including conservation parks, pastoral leases and private properties. (You can explore where TERN sites are located via this map). Collaboration with landholders and land managers is key to the success of TERN and maintaining these relationships allows our field teams to re-monitor sites multiple times.
Recognising the importance of this collaboration, we distribute summary reports to landholders and land managers that provide snapshots of the TERN plots, the data collected, how to access the data, descriptions of data types, panorama photos and examples of research using TERN data.
