The data is being used to calibrate, validate and improve vegetation fractional cover products derived from remote sensing, in particular the satellite sensors MODIS and Landsat. The data is being used to improve the national fractional vegetation cover product of Guerschman et al. (2009) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This algorithm enables national, monthly identification of ground cover separating the photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic components by applying a linear unmixing methodology for spectral reflectance every 8 days as 16-day composites. For confidence in its ground cover estimates, the results were verified in the field at selected sites across Australia to allow more extensive calibration, validation and verification of accuracy of the remote sensing method. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database represents the results of the field validation of remotely determined cover measurements by observing cover along point intersects with a total of 300 points (or 200 points with crops). It also has additional observations and measures such as landscape features, fire evidence, erosion evidence, biotic disturbance evidence, biomass estimates, basal area measurements, soil features and dominant vegetation species, as well as site photographs. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database focuses on sites in extensive grazing systems of the rangelands and, to a lesser extent, in the mixed farming or intensive land use zone. Field validation aims at obtaining a wide spatial coverage of sites, with limited site revisits for temporal coverage.&rft.creator=Anonymous&rft.date=2012&rft.edition=9/2014&rft.coverage=northlimit=-27.0308423807193;westlimit=130.464683726919;eastlimit=140.859961935671;southlimit=-33.7937054215798;projection=GDA94;name=Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of South Australiastudy area&rft.coverage=Survey of the Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of South Australia area.&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/&rft_subject=Tecticornia tenuis &rft_subject=Mariana aphylla &rft_subject=Sclerolaena brachyptera &rft_subject=Eragrostis sp. &rft_subject=Zygochloa paradoxa &rft_subject=Geology &rft_subject=Acacia tetragonophylla &rft_subject=Disturbance &rft_subject=Atriplex vesicaria &rft_subject=Tribulus sp. &rft_subject=Zygophyllum apiculatum &rft_subject=Senna artemisioides subsp. coriacea &rft_subject=Casuarina pauper &rft_subject=Sedge sp. &rft_subject=Ptilotus sp. &rft_subject=Sclerolaena holtiana &rft_subject=Calotis hispidula &rft_subject=Eriochiton sclerolaenoides &rft_subject=Duma florulenta &rft_subject=Samphire sp. &rft_subject=Solanum depauperata &rft_subject=Maireana tomentosa subsp. urceolata &rft_subject=Salsola tragus &rft_subject=ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES&rft_subject=BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES&rft_subject=Eragrostis falcata &rft_subject=Hearbaceous species &rft_subject=Gramineae sp. &rft_subject=Soil &rft_subject=Flora &rft_subject=Goodenia cycloptera &rft_subject=Triraphis mollis &rft_subject=Enneapogon polyphyllus &rft_subject=Austrostipa sp. &rft_subject=Erosion &rft_subject=Atalaya hemiglauca &rft_subject=Sida sp. &rft_subject=Chenopodium auricomum &rft_subject=Eragrostis tenellula &rft_subject=Triticum sp. &rft_subject=Enneapogon cylindricus &rft_subject=Acacia aneura var. aneura &rft_subject=Sporobolus caroli &rft_subject=Astrebla pectinata &rft_subject=Myoporum platycarpum &rft_subject=Aristida holathera &rft_subject=Sclerolaena limbata &rft_subject=Eremophila duttonii &rft_subject=Sclerolaena divaricata &rft_subject=Maireana aphylla &rft_subject=Maireana coronata &rft_subject=Gunniopsis quadrifida &rft_subject=Acacia victoriae &rft_subject=Eclipta platyglossa &rft_subject=Dodonaea viscosa subsp. angustissima &rft_subject=Portulaca sp. &rft_subject=Carrichtera annua &rft_subject=Acacia aneura var. tenuis &rft_subject=Eriachne aristidea &rft_subject=Maireana spongiocarpa &rft_subject=Land Cover &rft_subject=Rhagodia spinescens &rft_subject=Cullen australasicum &rft_subject=Sclerolaena patenticuspis &rft_subject=Acacia papyrocarpa &rft_subject=Sida fibulifera &rft_subject=Senna artemisioides subsp. petiolaris &rft_subject=Enneapogon avenaceus &rft_subject=Lithology &rft_subject=Crotalaria eremaea &rft_subject=Eremophila longifolia &rft_subject=Alectryon oleifolius &rft_subject=Atriplex vesicaria subsp.

The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of South Australia has been collected by Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, South Australia as part of the Ground Cover Monitoring for Australia project. The data is being used to calibrate, validate and improve vegetation fractional cover products derived from remote sensing, in particular the satellite sensors MODIS and Landsat. The data is being used to improve the national fractional vegetation cover product of Guerschman et al. (2009) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This algorithm enables national, monthly identification of ground cover separating the photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic components by applying a linear unmixing methodology for spectral reflectance every 8 days as 16-day composites. For confidence in its ground cover estimates, the results were verified in the field at selected sites across Australia to allow more extensive calibration, validation and verification of accuracy of the remote sensing method. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database represents the results of the field validation of remotely determined cover measurements by observing cover along point intersects with a total of 300 points (or 200 points with crops).
