Underpins key processes to help

unravel how ecosystems function

Allows plot and faunal data patterns in

dynamics to be traced

Enables researchers to look at data in the

system and assess the effects of management

or disturbance variability

Expected use by landscape modellers to

help predict future distribution and

biodiversity

Trend analysis across network of biodiversity

indices

OzFlux continuous, long-term

micrometeorological measurements to

monitor the state of ecosystems globally

AusCover Australian biophysical map

products and remote sensing data time-

series, and associated field calibration and

validation data at continental scales

e-MAST ecosystem models for applications

at scales from landscape management to carbon accounting and climate

prediction

Current network activitiesRefining protocols• Review of monitoring protocols, data handling and quality assurance

International connections• Maximise interoperability and data integration with comparable

international ecosystem monitoring networks• National Ecosystem Observatory Network Inc. (NEON; USA) • Analysis and Experimentation on Ecosystems (AnaEE; EU)• Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN)

New challenges• Management and analysis of acoustic and phenocam data• Visualisation of live data streams
