In 2020, the Australian and New Zealand flux research and monitoring network, OzFlux, celebrated its 20th anniversary by reflecting on the lessons learned through two decades of ecosystem studies on global change biology. OzFlux is a network not only for ecosystem researchers, but also for those ‘next users’ of the knowledge, information and data that such networks provide. Here, we focus on eight lessons across topics of climate change and variability, disturbance and resilience, drought and heat stress and synergies with remote sensing and modelling. In distilling the key lessons learned, we also identify where further research is needed …
Contemporary Fire Regimes Of The Arid Carnarvon Basin Region Of Western Australia, Megan Ladbrook, Eddie Van Etten, William D. Stock
Contemporary Fire Regimes Of The Arid Carnarvon Basin Region Of Western Australia, Megan Ladbrook, Eddie Van Etten, William D. Stock
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
This study investigates the fire regime for the arid Carnarvon Basin region of Western Australia using remotely sensed imagery. A fire history database was constructed from satellite images to characterise the general fire regime and determine any effect of vegetation types and pre-fire weather and climate. The study area was divided into two sections (northern and southern) due to their inherently different vegetation and climate. A total of 23.8% (15,646 km2) of the study area was burnt during the 39-year study period. Heathland vegetation (54%) burnt the most extensively in the southern study area, and hummock grasslands (68%) in the …
Seasonal Timing For Estimating Carbon Mitigation In Revegetation Of Abandoned Agricultural Land With High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing, Ning Liu, Richard J. Harper, Rebecca N. Handcock, Bradley Evans, Stanley J. Sochacki, Bernard Dell, Lewis L. Walden, Shirong Liu
Seasonal Timing For Estimating Carbon Mitigation In Revegetation Of Abandoned Agricultural Land With High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing, Ning Liu, Richard J. Harper, Rebecca N. Handcock, Bradley Evans, Stanley J. Sochacki, Bernard Dell, Lewis L. Walden, Shirong Liu
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Dryland salinity is a major land management issue globally, and results in the abandonment of farmland. Revegetation with halophytic shrub species such as Atriplex nummularia for carbon mitigation may be a viable option but to generate carbon credits ongoing monitoring and verification is required. This study investigated the utility of high-resolution airborne images (Digital Multi Spectral Imagery (DMSI)) obtained in two seasons to estimate carbon stocks at the plant- and stand-scale. Pixel-scale vegetation indices, sub-pixel fractional green vegetation cover for individual plants, and estimates of the fractional coverage of the grazing plants within entire plots, were extracted from the high-resolution …

Proof Of Acacia Nilotica Stand Expansion In Bekol Savanna, Baluran National Park, East Java, Indonesia Through Remote Sensing And Field Observations, Sutomo, Eddie Van Etten, Luthfi Wahab
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
One of woody species that is known to inhabit certain savanna ecosystems is Acacia nilotica. The Acacia nilotica tree is widespread in the northern savannah regions, and its range extends from Mali to Sudan and Egypt. Acacia nilotica was first introduced to Java Island in 1850. It then spread to Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, Timor and Papua. Found in grasslands, savanna is reported as important colonizer at Baluran National Park in East Java and Wasur National Park Papua. We conducted Vegetation analysis in three areas of the Baluran Savanna namely: Grazed, burned and unburnt. Our observation result analysis showed that …

Design Of Laser Multi-Beam Generator For Plant Discrimination, Sreten Askraba, Arie Paap, Kamal Alameh, John Rowe
Research outputs 2011
Optimisation of the optical signal from the laser multi-spot beam generator employed in a photonic based real-time plant discrimination sensor for use in selective herbicide spraying systems is presented. The plant detection sensor uses a three-wavelength laser diode module that sequentially emits identically-polarized laser light beams through a common aperture, along one optical path. Each laser beam enters a multi-spot beam generator which produces 15 parallel laser beams over a 240mm span. The intensity of the reflected light from each spot is detected by a high-speed line scan image sensor. Plant discrimination is based on calculating the slope of the …
The Hillarys Transect (1): Seasonal And Coss-Shelf Variability Of Physical And Chemical Water Properties Off Perth, Western Australia, 1996-98, Alan F. Pearce, M J. Lynch, Christine E. Hanson
The Hillarys Transect (1): Seasonal And Coss-Shelf Variability Of Physical And Chemical Water Properties Off Perth, Western Australia, 1996-98, Alan F. Pearce, M J. Lynch, Christine E. Hanson
School of Natural Sciences Publications
A 27-month study of the water properties across the continental shelf off Perth, Western Australia (the "Hillarys Transect") has provided the first systematic inter-disciplinary climatology of the physical, chemical, optical and biological cycles across the shelf. This paper describes the main features of the seasonal and cross-shelf variability of the physical oceanography and chemistry, while companion papers discuss some of the links between the biology and physics of the region
