Vegetation change observed from on-ground repeat photography, Macquarie Island - 1980-2021
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Repeat photography from locations across Macquarie Island were visually compared to detect and categorise temporal changes in vegetation for each site.
Description
Photographs of the same scene in 1980, 2009 and 2014 were used. Terrain variables were used as predictor variables to investigate potential drivers of different types of vegetation change.
Satellite-derived vegetation indices were compared with the on-ground photography for the latter period. Dataset derived from visual analysis of a collection of repeat photography images from Macquarie Island. Three images from different years were compared for each location: 1980, 2009, 2014.

Classes of vegetation/landscape: Grass - short grassland (not Poa tussock) vegetation dominated by Agrostis, Luzula, Deschampsia, Festuca Pleu - Pleurophyllum hookeri Poa - Poa foliosa Ace - Aceana magellanica and A. minor Stilb - Stilbocarpa polaris (syn.
Azorella polaris) Bare - bare ground Moss - bryophytes Poly - Polystichum vestitum Az - Azorella macquariensis Az dieback - dieback of Azorella cushion plants (present/absent) Change classes: decrease no change increase Data files use 0/1 values for binary data 0 = true/absent 1 = false/present 999 = NA/no data e.g. GrassInc80 with a value of 0 means no increase in grass observed in the 1980-2009 period, AceDec09 with a value of 1 means Acaena spp. did decrease in the 2009-2014 period, landslide = 0 means site (polygon) not impacted by a landslide Some datasets have been recoded to 4 categories: 0/1/2/3 value for decr/stable/incr/NA(unknown) e.g. Poa80 = 0 means Poa foliosa decreased in the 1980-2009 period, Bare09 = 1 means bare ground stable (no discernible change) over 2009-14
