Full description
The TERN Australian Transect Network, Biodiversity and Adaptation Transect Sydney (BATS) uses a landscape-level approach to investigate taxonomic, functional and genetic turn-over along temperature and rainfall gradients traversing nutrient-poor soils in the Sydney region. Specimens (for identification and DNA analyses), abundance estimates, measures of functional diversity, and measures of fungal diversity are being gathered across 35, 50x50 meter plots (9 form part of the AusPlots network). The data is used to assess community diversity and turnover along the environmental gradients. BATS includes a range of subprojects, such as investigations of genomic turnover within selected species.Available: 2018-01-31
