The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) provides a national collaborative infrastructure and framework to assist in collection and management of scientific data to meet the needs of the terrestrial ecosystem research community. The network will also promote terrestrial ecosystems science interactions and planning in Australia.

The major objectives of TERN are to:

  • Provide a national institutional infrastructure network for terrestrial ecosystem research and management

  • Coordinate national observation networks to provide valuable information about our terrestrial ecosystems and to encourage research collaboration and cooperation within Australia

  • Facilitate improved electronic access for researchers to quality assured observational data so questions about our environment can be answered

  • Collaborate with the terrestrial ecosystem research community within Australia to identify future research needs and to strengthen the capability of this community so we are better able to respond to questions of national significance
