Metadata details

AAS_4046_2014QuadratPhotographs

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    This record contains digital photographs collected for the Windmill Islands long term vegetation monitoring program, conducted in 2014, under project AAS_4046. Photographs of each quadrat were taken to assess vegetation cover/health in 2014. Previous photographs are presented in separate metadata record: doi:10.4225/15/59fbbb909cf71. Data are presented in separate metadata records: doi:10.4225/15/59d454f962bd6, ####.
    Quadrat location data at two sites in the Windmill Islands (ASPA 135 and Robinson Ridge) are provided in metadata ID: AAS_4046_quadrat_locations
    (http://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/metadata/metadata.cfm?entry_id=AAS_4046_quadrat_locations).
    And shown in two maps which are available via the AADC map catalogue:

    http://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/mapcat/display_map.cfm?map_id=14451
    Baseline survey was described in Metadata ID ASAC_1313_Transects_2002-03; five and 10 year surveys described in
    doi:10.4225/15/55B1D23B3ED0E and doi:10.4225/15/55B5766F7FF9E, respectively.
    Data summary for entire Windmill Islands long term vegetation monitoring program is presented in the metadata record doi:10.4225/15/59d454f962bd6.
