Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Alpine Long Term Monitoring - Community Changes): Vegetation Data, South-east Highlands, Australia, 2012–2013

The Victorian Alpine Plot Network vegetation data package contains vegetation data collected at a sub-set of the 481 long term monitoring plots which have been established in Australian Alps and in Tasmania.  The sampling regime within the Victorian Network generally consists of multiple randomly positioned transects within sites, (rather than ‘plots’ sensu stricto), with each site, and/or transect geo-located. Point quadrats are taken at fixed intervals along each transect. The number of transects within sites, and sampling frequency varies from annual to decadal, depending on site and purpose.  This general array of sampling transects, point quadrats along transects and floristic quadrats is consistent between grassland and snowpatch monitoring sites, although the number of transects and floristic quadrats needed to detect change in key variables (vegetation cover, bare ground, etc) at each site varies over time. There are also long-term monitoring sites in wetlands. 
This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 1944, when plot were set up  to document long-term changes in ecosystem composition and structure in relation to disturbance (see methods for more information).  The Victorian Alpine Plot Network research plots are revisited on a 2-10 years basis.   A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Victorian Alpine Plot Network’s full program is provided at  http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-alpine

Tropical Rainforest Plot Network: Rainforest Tree Demographic Data (Plot EP2), 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 EP2, 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. (2014). Long term stem inventory data from tropical rainforest plots in Australia. Ecology 95:2362. http://www.rainforest-crc.jcu.edu.au/publications/permanent_plots1.pdf.

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Alpine Summit Plots): Lowland-to-highland Roadside Transects 4WD Tracks Data, South-East Highlands, Australia, 2015

This Victorian Alpine Plot Network Road Transects 4WD Track Data Package comprises transect-based vegetation data along the Springs-Bogong Jack Saddle Track in the South-East Highlands, Australia. These data have been used against background quadrat data to test a hypothesis about roads as vectors for dispersal of invasive species. Plots are located at altitudinally stratified intervals along two altitudinally-stratified transects. The transects follow major roads and management tracks in the Victorian Alps. Each track is divided into sectors in which plots are situated. Within each plot, all species are identified and are assigned abundance and cover scores. The Alpine Summit plots study, which commenced in 2001, forms part of the collection of data packages by the Victorian Alpine Plot Network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Victorian Alpine Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-alpine.

The LTERN Desert Uplands Plot Network Vegetation Survey Data contains presence data, species richness data and structural data for 1 of 60 (50 after 2008) permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot WOUR20, and this data is accessible as a composite data package at the following location: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html 
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. 
The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013.

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (ATEX): Plot Microclimate Data, Bogong High Plains, Victoria, Australia, 2014–2015

The objective of the Australian Tundra Experiment(ATEX) is to assess the likely response of vegetation and invertebrates to temperature increases attained through passive warming.  
The Australian Tundra Experiment (ATEX) follows the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) protocol (Molau &amp; Mølgaard 1996, Jarrad et al. 2009) which focuses on the growth and phenological responses of cold adapted vascular plant species to environmental change, specifically, to an increase in summer (growing season) temperatures. In addition to monitoring vegetation responses, the experimental warming chambers were used to monitor the response of invertebrates to warming. Warming is achieved using hexagonal fibreglass open-top warming chambers (OTCs).
The OTCs were set up in December 2003 at 4 sites within a 2 × 4.5 km area of the Bogong High Plains, Victoria, Australia, known as Rocky Knobs (36.90ºS, 147.27ºE). Two of the sites were established on vegetation that had been recently burnt by the 2003 bushfires. 
The sites are at approximately 1700 m above sea level and generally have snow cover of variable depth for 3 to 4 months each year (June-July to September-October). 
At each site, permanent plots of 1 m2 were selected to include as many of the common vascular grassland species as possible. Treatments were then allocated at random for a total of 40 control and 40 warmed plots. This dataset contains microclimate data for a subset of plots from 30-05-2014 to 2-05-2015.
