Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN)

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) is an Australian initiative that supports scientists in studying land-based ecosystems, such as forests, grasslands, and deserts. It provides advanced research infrastructure, including field sites, measurement tools, and data management systems, to monitor and understand how these ecosystems function and respond to environmental changes like climate shifts and land use. TERN aims to improve scientific knowledge for better land management, conservation, and sustainability, ensuring that researchers can collaborate effectively and make informed decisions to protect Australia's natural environment.
