‘Supratidal and coastal lowland forests’ are a broadly-distributed group of coastal ecosystems which are collectively defined on the basis of their position within the coastal landscape and vegetation structure. This dataset contains information on the location, structure and composition of supratidal forests and/or other coastal lowland forests and adjacent ecosystem types (mangrove, saltmarsh, terrestrial communities), collected via field surveys in selected locations around Australia.  These data have been used to validate the first national Supratidal and Coastal Lowland Forest (SCLF) mapping product produced for Australia, available at https://doi.org/10.71862/y3cp-kd04
