Figure #VST-1: Geographical distribution of observation sites used in developing the VAST model and NPP data set. NPP = measurements of above-ground net primary productivity, litterfall and litter mass. biomass = measurements of above-ground biomass. soil = measurements of soil carbon content and bulk density. Note that many measurements were made at the same sites or within the same 0.05-degree grid cells, and that the majority of sites are from the most densely-populated south-eastern region of Australia.
