ABS released data contains final estimates for data items collected in the 2014–15 Rural Environment and Agricultural Commodities Survey (REACS). The statistics on crop and horticultural area and production were used to estimate biomass volumes for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment Project. See RenewablesSA website for more information including metadata and data sources. http://www.renewablessa.sa.gov.au/investor-information/bio-energy-roadmap/biomass-for-bioenergy-assessment

The cereal straw residue data summarizes per hectare residue yields that are based on a average yields from estimates of three years of data (2020 - 2022), to give an indication of likely yield of cereal residue per shire in Western Australia.

State-wide data for (source separated) organics resource recovery reported by the South Australia Recycle Activity report 2013-14 (Zero Waste SA 2015) was used to estimate potential biomass residues by ABS SA4 Regions for C&D and C&I. Local Government kerbside collection data (2014-15) collected by the Office of Local Government was used to derive MSW data. Urban waste volumes may vary from year to year. Future biomass data sets could consider providing a range for these biomass residue volumes, which may better reflect the uncertainties in annual volumes that may be generated. It is also important to recognise that source separated organic residues will already be subject to some type of resource recovery and reuse (e.g. manufacture of mulch and compost products, anaerobic digestion for energy production). Future data sets could quantify this resource recovery activity.

A polygon dataset that estimates the biomass volumes of residues for livestock in Tasmania, Australia for the purposes of determining availability of biomass for bioenergy, locations and quantities. This information has been collated for the Australian Biomass for Bioenergy Assessment (ABBA) project and will be available for use on the Australian Renewable Energy Mapping Infrastructure (AREMI) platform, to build a national map to service the renewable energy sector. The polygon datasets features are based on the ABS SA4 boundaries. The livestock residues data contained in the feature dataset were derived from the Tasmanian Residues Survey (2016) which was undertaken. Applies to the following Livestock residues layers: • Aquaculture Residues • Dead Animals Residues • Farm Manure Residues • Saleyard Manure Residues • Waste Residues Disclaimer While all reasonable care has been taken in the preparation of the material in this file, the Tasmanian Government and its officers accept no responsibility for any errors or omissions it may contain, whether caused by negligence, or otherwise, or for any loss, however caused, sustained by any person who relies on it.

This publication contains final estimates of land use, crop and horticultural area and production, livestock numbers and farm management and demographic information for Australia, states and territories.

,This data package was produced by researchers working on the Shortgrass Steppe Long Term Ecological Research (SGS-LTER) Project, administered at Colorado State University. Long-term datasets and background information (proposals, reports, photographs, etc.) on the SGS-LTER project are contained in a comprehensive project collection within the Digital Collections of Colorado (http://digitool.library.colostate.edu/R/?func=collections&collection_id=3429). The data table and associated metadata document, which is generated in Ecological Metadata Language, may be available through other repositories serving the ecological research community and represent components of the larger SGS-LTER project collection. The objective of the long-term ANPP study is to monitor long-term net above ground primary production of the shortgrass steppe community by functional group. There are 6 sites: ridgetop (ridge), midslope (mid), swale, ESA (replicate 1 not 2), Section 25 (SEC 25), and owl-creek (OC). Each site is located in a different landscape position or soil type on the shortgrass steppe and may be grazed or not. Ridgetop, midslope and swale are grazed and are sampled along a catena. Section 25 is grazed and is located in an upload grassland. ESA is an ungrazed upland grassland an is the control from the Ecosystem Stress Area experiment. Owl Creek is ungrazed and is located in the lowland along the owl creek drainage. There are 3 transects with 5 plots in each transect. Plots in the grazed locations are protected by cages. Because this is a monitoring effort, true replicates across the landscape are not available and it is recommended that the transect be used in calculating mean production at each sampling location.,,
