Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot TIMA08, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

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 TIMA08, 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.

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot TIMA19, 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 TIMA19. 
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:

Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network (Fauna): Nocturnal Spotlighting Survey, Nitmiluk National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2015

These data are records of all nocturnal spotlighting observations during the 2015 Nitmiluk survey. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots were established between 1994-2002 across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in the Top End of the Northern Territory, representing the Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network. A detailed flora and fauna survey has been conducted at each plot on a 5-6 year cycle to monitor biotic changes. Plots represent a variety of landforms and vegetation types. 
Nitmiluk National Park contains 46 plots, each with a paired plot located within 1 km of the primary plot. In 2015, 23 paired plots were surveyed for terrestrial vertebrate fauna using a range of survey methods. 
At each paired plot 2 x 15 minute surveys was conducted at night using head-torches, on any of the 4 nights available during the 4 day fauna survey period. The Spotlight survey area encompassed the standard 50 x 50 m trapping grid and an additional 25 m around all sides.

Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network: Fire Scar Mapping, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2013

Geotiff Images of fire affected areas in Kakadu National Park for the years 2013 based on the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).  These Images are clipped from geotiff images of fire affected areas in far northern Australia available from North Australian Fire Information (NAFI) website.  The images have a resolution of 250 m (pixel size) and each burnt pixel is tagged with the month that covers the largest part of the date interval in which the burnt pixel was detected. These data cover Kakadu National Park, but are part of a larger data set that extends across far northern WA down to 21 degrees S, across the entire NT (down to 26 degrees S) and all of Qld (down to 29 degrees S). The NAFI mapping covers the years 2000 to present and since 2012, the mapping also includes northern SA down to 29 degrees S. Mapping landscapes north of 20 degrees S in WA, NT and Qld has been validated by aerial and on-ground transects across northern Australia.

Contributing Area - Multiple Flow Direction (Partial) derived from 1&quot; SRTM DEM-H

CA_MFD_PARTIAL is contributing area in m2 computed using multiple flow directions on hillslopes and ANUDEM-derived flow directions in channels. The contributing area was computed on 1 degree tiles with 200 cell (about 5 km) overlaps so the areas in channels do not account for catchments beyond that size (hence the use of PARTIAL in the name). The primary purpose of this product was to calculate topographic wetness index (TWI; Gallant and Wilson, 2000) for which full contributing areas in channels are not necessary. Do not use this product to represent contributing areas of catchments larger than 5 km across.
The CA_MFD_PARTIAL product was derived from the Hydrologically enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM-H; ANZCW0703014615), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. 
This data is available in tiled format at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution.
The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second CA_MFD (partial) product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.

Mean monthly net longwave radiation modelled using the 1&quot; DEM-S - 1&quot; tiles

Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2000) was used to derive:
•   Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface
•   Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface)
•   Incoming long-wave radiation
•   Outgoing long-wave radiation
•   Net long-wave radiation
•   Net radiation
•   Sky view factor
All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane.
The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view.
The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as 1x1 degree tiles in ESRI float grid format. 813 tiles make up the extent of Australia. The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18611 .
The 3 arcsecond resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arcsecond resolution surfaces by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.

Tropical Rainforest Plot Network: Tree Stem Density and Basal Area Associations with Phytophthora, Garrawalt, Northern Queensland, Australia, 1975–2009

These data show the change in basal area and stem number following infection by Cinnamon Water Mould (Phytophthora cinnamomi) at the Garrawalt permanent plot NW of Townsville between 1975–2009. It demonstrates the recovery in dieback areas in Australia's tropical rainforests. The data tables attached are used to generate the graph in Figure 5.11 on p133 of the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring Challenges and Direction.
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.
