TERN’s Gingin Banksia Woodland SuperSite is located on the Swan Coastal Plain, approximately 10 km southwest of Gingin, near Perth, Western Australia, sited on land traditionally owned by the Yued group of the Noongar people. The site is located in a natural woodland of high species diversity (overstorey dominated by Banksia spp) that overlays the Gnangara groundwater mound, Perth’s most important groundwater resource. The site is 2 km from the University of Western Australia International Gravity Wave Observatory.
Research using the Gingin Banksia Woodland SuperSite aims to increase our understanding of how climate, water and vegetation are interacting. Research is quantifying groundwater recharge and surface–atmosphere exchanges of carbon-dioxide, water vapour and energy at the Gingin site and analysing the ecological and social consequences.
The Gingin SuperSite is collocated with the Land Ecosystem Atmosphere Program (LEAP) – Gingin.
Since its inception, TERN’s infrastructure has enabled the publication of more than 1600 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles or books.
