Data

Summary of terrestrial environmental monitoring and observation effort by networks associated with three Australian National Research Infrastructures from 2010 to the present organised by State/Territory, IBRA region, feature type and year.

Metadata records were aggregated from biodiversity survey events from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/), marine observations collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and site-based monitoring and survey efforts by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/). See Aggregated Data: Environmental Monitoring and Observations Effort for information on the metadata included.

This dataset processes data from the Aggregated Data: Environmental Monitoring and Observations Effort dataset to offer counts of metadata records grouped by State/Territory, IBRA region, feature type and year. Feature types follow the EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary (https://doi.org/10.26197/w2a2-6s86).

The elements in this dataset are as follows:

1. 1. Year in which activity occurred (2010 to present)
   2. State/Territory
   3. IBRA7 terrestrial region
   4. Feature ID from EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary
   5. Feature name associated with feature ID
   6. Feature facet 1 – high-level facet based on feature ID – a top-level GCMD Earth Science category (6 terms)
   7. Feature facet 2 – intermediate-level facet based on feature ID – second-level GCMD/ANSL category (29 terms)
   8. Feature facet 3 – lower-level facet with more fine-grained taxonomic structure based on feature ID – typically a third-level GCMD/ANSL category (36 terms)
   9. Count of metadata records matching columns 1-8
