Brief description
A vegetation survey was carried out at the Victorian Dry Eucalypt SuperSite, Whroo node, at the Whroo Conservation Park, from 03 -05 April 2012. Tree diameter at breast height (1.3 m) and circumference were measured with measuring tape and height estimated using a clinometer sighted at 10 m from the base of the trees. Outliers were evident in the initial height estimations. These trees were remeasured. Tree and leaf biomass was estimated using allometric equation for the dominant tree species Eucalyptus microcarpa (Grey box). Aboveground tree biomass estimated from above measurements using locations and species-specific allometric equations as detailed in the following publication: Paul, K.I., Roxburgh, S.H., England, J.R., Ritson, P., Hobbs, T., Brooksbank, K., John Raison, R., Larmour, J.S., Murphy, S., Norris, J., Neumann, C., Lewis, T., Jonson, J., Carter, J.L., McArthur, G., Barton, C., Rose, B., 2013.
