Stable carbon isotope values of plant bulk tissue from 540 species surveyed across Australia between 2011 and 2022

Created 21/09/2025

Updated 21/09/2025

This data set contains the stable isotope carbon values for plants surveyed by Australia’s Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) between 2011 and May 2022 (inclusive). This data was produced to assign a photosynthetic pathway for 540 species that had no recorded pathway. This photosynthetic pathway data set was created by TERN to enable research examining the abundance, richness, and distribution of C4 and C3 vegetation in Australia. The full details of photosynthetic pathway data can be found in the linked collection: Munroe, S., McInerney, F., Andrae, J., Welti, N., Guerin, G., Leitch, E., Hall, T., Szarvas, S., Atkins, R., Caddy-Retalic, S., Holtum, J. & Sparrow, B.
