Flow-MER Vegetation Species Abundance

Ground storey vegetation species cover data (species x percent cover) collected as part of the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office's (CEWO) Flow-MER program in the Murray-Darling Basin.

The CEWO’s Flow-MER program examines the contribution of Commonwealth environmental water to the environmental objectives of the Basin Plan 2012 (Basin Plan) and is assisting the CEWO to demonstrate environmental outcomes and adaptively manage the water holdings. For more information on methods and reporting using these data see https://www.dcceew.gov.au/water/cewo/monitoring/mer-program.

Includes and extends the long-term data sets collected at the same sites during the Long Term Intervention Monitoring (LTIM) project (2014-2019).
