Tree structural characteristics are collected at the centre of a site, usually in conjunction with the Statewide Landcover and Trees Study (SLATS) star transect field data. The basal wedge is first used to identify a sample of trees then direct measurements are taken of each tree, which constitute the tree structural characteristics.Tree structural measurements have been collected at several locations across Australia (including the formally known AusCover Supersites) to relate field-based measurements to satellite data products, such as Landsat-derived ground cover estimates.
