Slope Relief Classification derived from 1&quot; SRTM DEM-S

Slope relief landform pattern classification based on Speight (2009).
The slope relief product was derived from the 300 m focal median percent slope product, and the Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. 
The slope relief classification dataset is available in 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolutions.
The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second slope relief product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.

Mallee Plot Network: Automatic Weather Station Data, Western New South Wales and South Australia, Australia, 2015+

This package contains automatic weather station readings from a site in Tarawi Nature Reserve, first set up in May 2015, replacing an older manual rainfall gauge.
Between 1996 and 2011, 53 experimental sites were established on dune crests and upper slopes, of which 29 are located in Tarawi Nature Reserve, 16 are in Scotia Sanctuary and 8 are in Danggali Conservation Park. After initial censuses in three consecutive years (before and after prescribed fire) or two consecutive years (after wildfire), sites are revisited approximately every five years. 
A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Mallee Plot Network’s full program is provided at  http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/mallee.

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR15, 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 WOUR15. 
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:

Mean monthly shortwave radiation ratio 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:18731 .
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.
The 3 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18732

Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of Tasmania

The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database of Tasmania has been collected by Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, Tasmania as part of the Ground Cover Monitoring for Australia project. The data is being used to calibrate, validate and improve vegetation fractional cover products derived from remote sensing, in particular the satellite sensors MODIS and Landsat. The data is being used to improve the national fractional vegetation cover product of Guerschman et al. (2009) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This algorithm enables national, monthly identification of ground cover separating the photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic components by applying a linear unmixing methodology for spectral reflectance every 8 days as 16-day composites. For confidence in its ground cover estimates, the results were verified in the field at selected sites across Australia to allow more extensive calibration, validation and verification of accuracy of the remote sensing method. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database represents the results of the field validation of remotely determined cover measurements by observing cover along point intersects with a total of 300 points (or 200 points with crops). It also has additional observations and measures such as landscape features, fire evidence, erosion evidence, biotic disturbance evidence, biomass estimates, basal area measurements, soil features and dominant vegetation species, as well as site photographs. The Ground Cover Reference Sites Database focuses on sites in extensive grazing systems of the rangelands and, to a lesser extent, in the mixed farming or intensive land use zone. Field validation aims at obtaining a wide spatial coverage of sites, with limited site revisits for temporal coverage.

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Alpine Summit Plots): Lowland-to-highland Roadside Transects Data, South-East Highlands, Australia, 2017

This Victorian Alpine Plot Network Road Transects Data Package comprises transect-based vegetation data for Lowland-to-highland Roadside Transects 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 attitudinally stratified intervals along five attitudinally-stratified transects. The transects follow major roads and management tracks in the Victorian Alps.  Each road is divided into 20 altitudinal sectors in which a single plot is situated. Within each plot, all species are identified and are assigned 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.
