What is a TERN SuperSite?
1) An intensive field station in a typical and important biome
2) Physical instrumentation3) Scientists and technical support staff4) Transect(s) or Contrasts (10-400km)

Question driven, consistent network-wide monitoring
CURRENT STATUS: ecosystem condition, functional patterns and spatial arrangement
- stocks and fluxes of energy, carbon and water
MONITORING: response to environmental change, natural disturbance and human induced disturbance
- ecophysiological responses - changes in community composition
PREDICTIONS: Can environmental thresholds or 'tipping points' be identified and solutions suggested to avoid state change?

Challenges to address going forward:
- Standardising data formats - template driven- Improving QA QC procedures (data collection, ingestion)- Improving sensors (phenocams, acoustics)- Staffing levels and training in diverse field techniques- Assessing representativeness of plots, repetition- Valuing data set publication / citation to incentivize co-contribution
Collaborations, inter-operability
Within TERN - Calibration/validation (AusCover)- Modelling: eMAST, AusPlots, Transects, LTERN +
International - Calibration / validation (soil moisture, biomass, LAI)- Data use/reuse, modelling
