Features

Everything you need for ecology fieldwork

Purpose-built for Australian ecologists \u2014 not a generic form builder with ecology bolted on.

ALA Species Lookup

Autocomplete species names against the Atlas of Living Australia. Full taxonomic details, common names, and conservation status — works offline too.

Conservation Alerts

When a threatened or protected species is recorded, you see the alert immediately. Not back at the office — in the field, at the point of observation.

Flora Quadrat Templates

Pre-built quadrat survey forms with species list, abundance (DAFOR), cover percentage, height class, and stratum. Configured for standard Australian methodology.

Fauna Survey Templates

Active search, bird point count, bat detector, spotlighting, and camera trap templates. Each captures the metadata your EIA report needs.

BioNet & VBA Exports

Export your species observations in the exact format BioNet NSW and VBA VIC expect. No reformatting. Upload directly.

GPS Tracking

Record GPS breadcrumb trails along transects. Navigate to waypoints. Geofence alerts when you leave your survey boundary. Bluetooth GPS receiver support.

Photo Register

Geo-tagged photos with auto-embedded GPS coordinates, compass direction, and species ID. Numbered sequentially for your photo register.

Offline Species Cache

Download ALA species data for your survey area before heading to the field. Full autocomplete and conservation status checks — no signal required.

AI Report Drafting

Generate species register tables, methodology sections, and results summaries from your field data. Edit and refine — don’t write from scratch.

Common questions

How does the ALA species lookup work offline?

Before heading to the field, download species data for your survey region. The mobile app caches taxonomy, common names, and conservation listings locally. Autocomplete works identically offline — you just won’t see newly added species until your next sync.

Can I customise the flora quadrat template?

Yes. Duplicate any built-in template and modify fields, validation rules, and layout with the drag-and-drop form editor. Your custom templates are available across all your surveys.

What about vegetation condition assessments?

TerraSitu includes a VCA template following the standard Australian methodology. Condition classes, benchmark comparison, and photo evidence are captured in a single form.
