IAI-Data-CRN_012_Austin_POSIT-DEC: The importance of position of senescent material on decomposition and nutrient release

Entry ID: IAIDIS760

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The importance of standing dead material, including coarse woody
debris in forests, has been shown to be important in the regeneration
of forests, and critical for maintaining a variety of ecosystem
processes. At the same time, the importance of standing dead material,
and the dynamic of recycling of this senescent material in arid and
semiarid ecoystems is much less well understood. In addition, ...

Quality Data from OZCAM data providers have not been verified or checked in a
systematic way, although some contributing institutions may have done a more or
less rigorous check of the quality of the data. Data are often sourced from
specimen labels, particularly for old museum specimens and inaccuracy is often
due to this fact.

Access Constraints Data supplied to OBIS by museums around Australia via OZCAM are freely
accessible by the public. The data supplied may not represent the total
holdings of any one institution as data about incompletely identified
specimens, manuscript names and specimens where a georeference cannot be
calculated have normally been withheld from publication.

Use Constraints Data users should acknowledge the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern
Territory (MAGNT) and also OZCAM, Australia's Fauna.

Acknowledge the use of specific records from the Australian museum in the form
appearing in the 'Citation' field thereof (if any); and acknowledge the use of
the OBIS facility.

For information purposes, email to obissupport@marine.rutgers.edu the full
citation of any publication made (printed or electronic) that cites OBIS or any
constituent part.

Recognize the limitations of data in OBIS.
