Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR01, 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 WOUR01. 
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 net longwave radiation modelled using the 1&quot; DEM-S - 3&quot; mosaic

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 3 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format. 
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 1 arcsecond tiled data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:9633 . The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18611

Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network: Plot-based Fire Severity Monitoring, Nitmiluk National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2012–2013

A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x 20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 46 plots are located in Nitmuluk. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type/habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation. For example stands of Callitris, sandstone heaths. As well, many plots are located at, or in the near vicinity of, intensively managed sites such as camp-grounds and other tourist destinations.

Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Temporal Trends in Mammal Responses to Fire Reveals the Complex Effects of Fire-regime Attributes, 2003-2013

This terrestrial mammal trapping and spotlighting data package comprises time series data for 11 mammal species at 97 long-term sites in south-eastern Australia.  Observations were made between 2003 and 2013.
The objectives of this research were to identify which fire regime attributes affect temporal change in the presence and abundance of Australian native mammals.  In the associated research publication, the researchers explored how temporal aspects of fire regimes influenced both the presence and the conditional abundance of species. The key fire regime components examined as part of the research were: (i) severity of a major fire in 2003, (ii) the interval between the last major fire (2003) and the fire prior to that, and (iii) number of past fires.  This long-term dataset has enabled quantification of the interactions between survey year and each fire regime variable, an ecological relationship notably missing from temporally-restricted studies. 
In summary, multiple aspects of fire regimes influenced temporal variation in the presence and abundance of mammals. The best models indicated that 6 of the 11 species responded to two or more fire regime variables, with two species influenced by all three fire regime attributes. Almost all species responded to time since fire, either as an interaction with survey year or as a main effect. Fire severity or its interaction with survey year was important for most terrestrial rodents. The number of fires at a site was significant for species of terrestrial rodents and several other species. Key findings contain evidence of the effects on native mammals of heterogeneity in fire regimes. Refer to the relevant research paper for more detail.
