Lineage | Tussac data for all islands have been systematically entered according to the date of survey, listed under Tussac in the Visits field. Tussac cover data are sourced from field survey data and from Google Earth images. Field survey data were collected by Robin Woods (1997-2009) or Sally Poncet and Ken Passfield (2008-2013). For islands that were not surveyed, data has been obtained from Google Earth satellite images 2003-2012, by doing a rough 'eyeball estimate of the percentage of tussac cover visible on the satellite image. Data from the field surveys by Ian Strange and an analysis of 1950s aerial photography (Strange et al 1988) have not been entered in the database. |
