| Ant Survey, Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt SuperSite, Core 1 ha, 2015
van Gorsel
CSIRO
Ants are Australia’s dominant faunal group in terms of biomass and energy flow. They occupy all trophic levels, act as ecosystem engineers, feature in many mutualistic interactions with plants, and are a key food resource for many vertebrates. Ants are also Australia’s best studied insect group in terms of biogeography and community dynamics. They are the most widely used invertebrate bio-indicators in environmental assessment and monitoring.
Ants were collected Jan and Apr 2015 and stored in ethanol for taxonomic assessment.

| Leaf Area Index Data, Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt SuperSite, 2014
van Gorsel
CSIRO O&A
Leaf area index (LAI) can be defined as the total one sided area of leaf tissue per unit area of ground and is a key derived parameter that is associated with water and light interception, radiation transfer, water and carbon exchange (Bréda, 2003). Canopy cover can be defined as the fraction of ground shaded by the vertical projection of tree crowns (Walker et al. 1981). These measures may be used as proxies for actual canopy leaf area. Leaf area index is the preferred measure of cover for vegetation and as a key variable used in total biomass estimation and in carbon cycling prediction models. Indirect measures of LAI include digital photographic methods using flat or hemispherical images, referred to respectively as DCP (digital cover photography) and DHP (digital hemispheric photography). LAI measurements are carried out at each SuperSite using the most appropriate method for the vegetation type present. Digital Cover Photography (DCP) is recommended for medium stature (10-40 m) vegetation with simple structure. DCP was originally developed for sparse to moderately dense broadleaf forest and has also been tested in sparse savanna woodland. DCP is recommended for these vegetation types and has also been suggested for more dense forests (Pekin and MacFarlane 2009). Digital Hemispheric Photography (DHP) is recommended for short vegetation (4-8 m) e.g. low banksia woodland, complex (multi strata) and tall vegetation (> 40+ m) using images taken 20 m apart (MacFarlane et al. 2007).

| Soil Moisture, Cosmic Ray Soil Moisture Sensor, Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt SuperSite, 2011
Zegelin
CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research
A cosmic ray soil moisture sensor was installed at the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt Supersite on 03 Apr 2011 by the Australian Cosmic Ray Soil Moisture Monitoring Network (CosmOz; http://www.ermt.csiro.au/html/cosmoz.html). CosmOz represents just one of a growing number of networks around the World. Other networks are found in USA, Germany, and the UK with other projects adopting the technology in South America, Africa and Europe. These sensors use cosmic rays originating from outer space to measure average soil moisture over an area of about 40 hectares to a depth up to 90 cm. The system measures fast neutrons that are produced from interactions of cosmic rays with the atmosphere and top few meters of soil. The intensity of these neutrons are moderated largely by water molecules in the soil. The number of neutrons counted over a period of time is inversely proportional to the amount of water in the soil. To estimate volumetric water content, each system is calibrated against soil samples that are collected from dry and wet moisture regimes using a standard protocol. Data is collected every 60 min and uploaded to data portal infrastructure which is maintained by the University of Arizona. This infrastructure and associated web interface were established as part of the US based Cosmic-ray Soil Moisture Observation System (COSMOS, http://cosmos.hwr.arizona.edu/). Collaboration between Australian and US researchers has facilitated a data hosting agreement which has now resulted in a growing international data portal for delivering and processing data from cosmic-ray probes. Tumbarumba Supersite land cover: Wet sclerophyll eucalyptus forest, Land use: native/plantation forestry, Soil type: Acidic, eutrophic red dermosol, 3 - 4 m deep Tumbarumba data can be downloaded from http://cosmos.hwr.arizona.edu/Probes/StationDat/077/index.php

| Soil Sampling for Calibration of Cosmic Ray Soil Moisture Sensor, Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt SuperSite, 2012

CSIRO, Marine and Atmospheric Research
Soil sampling was carried out 26 Apr 2012 to calibrate the
Cosmic-ray Soil Moisture Observation sensor. A cosmic ray soil
moisture sensor was installed at the Tumbarumba Wet Eucalypt
Supersite on 03 Apr 2011 by the Australian Cosmic Ray Soil
Moisture Monitoring Network (CosmOz;
http://www.ermt.csiro.au/html/cosmoz.html). CosmOz sensors use
cosmic rays originating from outer space to measure average soil
moisture over an area of about 40 hectares to a depths of
between 10cm in wet soils to 70cm in dry soils. The system
measures fast neutrons that are produced from interactions of
cosmic rays with the atmosphere and top few meters of soil. The
intensity of these neutrons are moderated largely by water
molecules in the soil. The number of neutrons counted over a
period of time is inversely proportional to the amount of water
in the soil. To estimate volumetric water content, each system
is calibrated against soil samples that are collected from dry
and wet moisture regimes using a standard protocol. Tumbarumba

CSIRO
The SuperSites wood block decomposition assessment is part of a global program looking at the influence of microbes and invertebrates on wood decay. A common protocol was developed exposing small (~400 cm3) pieces of a wood-substrate (untreated Pinus radiata) to the environment excluding and not-excluding macroinvertebrates (e.g. termites) by the use of a plastic mesh. This will provide baseline information on the relative rates of decomposition that can be ascribed to saprotrophic microbes and invertebrates in different ecosystems across Australia and the world. The use of a common wood substrate allows for direct comparison among studies.
