Full description
This record contains moss and lichen abundance data associated with the Windmill Islands long-term vegetation monitoring program, conducted between 2000 and 2022, under projects ASAC_1313, AAS_3042, AAS_4046, AAS_4516 and AAS_4613. This record provides information about field collections and sampling methods, as well as providing raw data for species abundance at two sites in the Windmill Islands (ASPA 135 and Robinson Ridge).This record was prepared by Elka Blackman and Melinda Waterman in December 2024.
Baseline survey was described in Metadata ID ASAC_1313_Transects_2002-03; five, 10 year and 13 year surveys described in ASAC_1313_Transects_2007-08, AAS_4046_Transects_2012-13, and AAS_4046_Transects_2000-2013 respectively.
Funding and logistics support to collect these data were provided by
Australian Antarctic Science projects ASAC_1313, AAS_3042, AAS_3129, AAS_4046 (Robinson), AAS_4516 (Waterman), and AAS_4613 (SAEF)

FILE: AAS_4516_QuadratVegetationSpecies_2000-2022.xlsx This excel file provides vegetation community data collected between 2000 and 2022. Four worksheets:
1. "Vocabulary" – provides a detailed description of methods, terms and abbreviations.
2. "DataCollection" – provides information about sampling, analyses and publications.
3. "Quadrat" – provides a schematic of the quadrats used in this study, providing details of the size used for photos (25 x 25 cm), sample collection (20 x 20 cm) and grid interval details.
4. "Species" – species abundance assessments of vegetation microsamples.
Quadrat location data are provided in metadata ID: AAS_4046_quadrat_locations (https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4046_quadrat_locations).
And shown in two maps which are available via the AADC map catalogue:

Quadrat photography data at these two sites in the Windmill Islands are provided in separate metadata records:
