Tropical Rainforest Plot Network: Rainforest Tree Demographic Data (Plot EP35), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2011–2013

The LTERN Tropical Rainforest Plot Network Rainforest Tree Demographic Data contains stem measurement data for 1 of 20, 0.5 ha (100 m x 50 m) permanent rainforest plots in Northern Queensland, Australia from 2011 to 2013.  
This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 1971 to 2013 that is managed by CSIRO. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot EP35, and  this data is accessible as a composite data package at the following location:
Metcalfe, D; Murphy, H; Bradford, M; Hogan, D; Ford, A (2014): Tropical Rainforest Plot Network: Rainforest Tree Demographic Data, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2011-2013. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.90.42/html 
The CSIRO permanent rainforest plots are located within 60 km of the north Queensland coast between Mackay (21.5ºS, 149ºE) and the Iron Range on Cape York Peninsula (12.5ºS, 143ºE). The plots have a rainfall range of 1200 to 3500 mm, represent eleven vegetation types, six parent materials, and range from 15 m to 1200 m above sea level. Except for minor disturbances associated with selective logging on two plots, the plots were established in old growth forest and all plots have thereafter been protected. Plots were regularly censused and at each census the diameter at breast height (DBH) of all stems ≥10 cm DBH is recorded.  Due to the wide geographical range of the plots, no species dominate, although the families Lauraceae, Rutaceae and Myrtaceae contribute a large number of species. The data collected from the 20 plots provides an insight into the floristical composition, structure and long term forest dynamics of Australian tropical rainforests and allows direct comparisons to be made with long-term monitoring plots at a global scale (Bradford, M.G., Murphy, H.T., Ford, A.J., Hogan, D. and Metcalfe, D.J.

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Alpine Summit Plots): Vegetation Composition Data, South-East Highlands, Australia, 2012–2013

This Victorian Alpine Plot Network Vegetation Composition Data Package comprises plot-based vegetation data for alpine mountain summits in the Australian Alps.  Twenty 1 metre squared quadrats are situated along each of four varying length permanent transects established on mountain summits.  In each quadrat, plant species are assigned percentage cover abundance and species per metre squared are recorded.  
The Alpine Summit plots study, which commenced in 2001, forms part of the collection of data packages by the Victorian Alpine Plot Network.

Desert Ecology Plot Network: Plot Details - Spatial Coordinates, Simpson Desert, Western Queensland

This plot details and spatial coordinates data package comprises plot data for the 24 plots (or grids) situated within the 12 core sites used in the Desert Ecology Plot Network study design.   These plots are spaced between 0.5-2 km apart.  The network program uses these sites/plots to quantitatively track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, including unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing.

Maps of Australian soil loss by water erosion derived using the RUSLE

The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) estimates the annual soil loss that is due to erosion using a factor-based approach with rainfall, soil erodibility, slope length, slope steepness and cover management and conservation practices as inputs. The collection is (i) a set of maps that represent the RUSLE factors, (ii) a map of the RUSLE estimates of soil erosion in Australia and (iii) a map of the uncertainty in the estimates of erosion.

City of Playford - Hills Area, Biological Survey of South Australia - Roadside Vegetation Survey, Biological Database of South Australia

The project systematically surveys the extent and condition of remnant native vegetation on railway corridors / roadsides . A standard drive-by survey methodology is used to record dominant species (overstorey, understorey, emergent, threatened and alien species), structural type, density/distribution and understorey vegetation type in roadside vegetation. Mapping outputs are used to inform roadside vegetation management by Local and State Governments.

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot PENR07, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data contains bird fauna data for 1 of 50 permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot PENR07. 
The CSIRO permanent plots are situated in Tropical Ironbark Woodlands, and extend across four leasehold cattle properties that lie within an area approximately 50km by 50km. The plots represent three vegetation management strategies, namely: 1) clearing (where all trees and shrubs are removed); 2) thinning (where ground and midstorey vegetation is removed); and 3) unmodiﬁed native woodlands where signiﬁcant thinning or clearing has not occurred. Within each 1 ha site, eight five-minute diurnal bird counts are conducted over a four day period. Two counts are completed per day at each site: one count in the morning within three hours of sunrise and the other a minimum of three hours after this period and before sunset.
This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 2004 to 2013. Note that previous studies were undertaken at 60 permanent 1 hectare plots and that this data is accessible as a composite data package:

Desert Ecology Plot Network: Reptile Abundance Plot-data, Simpson Desert, Western Queensland, 2014

This herpetofauna abundance plot data package comprises capture data for a specified duration of trapping nights (usually 3 night session) in the Simpson Desert, Western Queensland. Date, site and grid number were identified and recaptures during the same session were removed (i.e. individuals were only counted once). Date, site and grid number were recorded for all captures, and captured animals were also marked by a unique toe clip prior to their release to identify recaptures. The network program uses a core of 12 sites which are sampled every April-May. The trapping survey aims to quantitatively track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, including unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing.
