The photosynthetic pathway of plants is a fundamental trait that influences terrestrial environments from the local to global level. The distribution of different photosynthetic pathways in Australia is expected to undergo a substantial shift due to climate change and rising atmospheric CO; however, tracking change is hindered by a lack of data on the pathways of species, as well as their distribution and relative cover within plant communities. Here we present the photosynthetic pathways for 2428 species recorded across 541 plots surveyed by Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) between 2011 and 2017. This dataset was created to facilitate research exploring trends in vegetation change across Australia. Species were assigned a photosynthetic pathway using published literature and stable carbon isotope analysis of bulk tissue. The photosynthetic pathway of species can be extracted from the dataset individually, or used in conjunction with vegetation surveys to study the occurrence and abundance of pathways across the continent. This dataset will be updated as TERN's plot network expands and new information becomes available.
植物的光合作用途径是一个基本特征，从局部到全球层面影响着陆地环境。由于气候变化和大气 CO 浓度上升，预计澳大利亚不同光合作用途径的分布将发生重大变化；然而，由于缺乏有关物种途径及其在植物群落中的分布和相对覆盖的信息，跟踪变化受到了阻碍。在这里，我们介绍了澳大利亚 TERrestrial Ecosystem Research Network（TERN）在 2011 年至 2017 年期间调查的 541 个样地中记录的 2428 个物种的光合作用途径。该数据集是为了促进探索澳大利亚植被变化趋势的研究而创建的。使用已发表的文献和组织的稳定碳同位素分析对物种进行光合作用途径的分配。可以从数据集中单独提取物种的光合作用途径，也可以与植被调查结合使用，以研究整个大陆途径的发生和丰度。随着 TERN 样地网络的扩展和新信息的出现，该数据集将不断更新。
