Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot PENR08, 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 PENR08. 
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: Fire Scar Mapping, Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2014

Geotiff Images of fire affected areas in Litchfield National Park for the year 2014 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.

Connell Rainforest Plot Network: Subtropical Rainforest Understorey Light Environment Data, O'Reilly's Plot, Lamington National Park, Queensland, Australia, 2013

This data package comprises data from a series of hemispherical photographs taken in July 2013, at the Connell Rainforest Plot near O’Reilly’s Guest House, 85 km south of Brisbane, Queensland.  The 2.0 ha site consists of separate 1.0 ha plots separated by 600 m, but they have always been treated as a single entity.  The site consists of mapped and tagged trees in all size classes from tiny seedlings to large canopy trees.  Rates of recruitment, growth and mortality have been measured at intervals of 1-6 years with records extending back to 1963.  
The primary determinant of growth rate in the understorey is light.  Gaps created by the death of large canopy trees have been systematically surveyed many times over the decades until 2002, with the boundaries of the gaps being noted on hand drawn maps.  These maps have never been digitized, and the originals are held at the University of California.  Copies of some later maps are held by Green at La Trobe University.  2013 was the first year a digital camera with a fish-eye lens was used to measure understorey light environments along the seedling transects. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Connell Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest.

Soil and Landscape Grid Digital Soil Property Maps for Tasmania (3&quot; resolution)

These are the soil attribute products of the Tasmanian Soil Attribute Grids. There are 8 soil attribute products available from the TERN Soil Facility. Each soil attribute product is a collection of 6 depth slices. Each depth raster has an upper and lower uncertainty limit raster associated with it. The depths provided are 0-5cm, 5-15cm, 15-30cm, 30-60cm, 60-100cm &amp; 100-200cm, consistent with the Specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.
Attributes: pH - Water (pHw); Electical Conductivity dS/m (ECD); Clay % (CLY); Sand % (SND); Silt % (SLT); Bulk Density - Whole Earth Mg/m3 (BDw); Organic Carbon % (SOC); Coarse Fragments &gt;2mm (CFG).
These products were developed using datasets held by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries Parks Water &amp; Environment (DPIPWE) Soils Database. The mapping was made by using spatial modelling and digital soil mapping (DSM) techniques to produce a fine resolution 3 arc-second grid of soil attribute values and their uncertainties, across all of Tasmania.
Note: Previous versions of this collection contained a Depth layer. This has been removed as the units do not comply with Global Soil Map specifications.

Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Herpetofaunal Search Data (Summer), Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, 2016

This herpetofaunal search data package comprises herpetofaunal data recorded along permanent 100 m transects along which three artificial substrates have been incorporated.    At the 20 m and 80 m points along each transect two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four half-length railway sleepers, are situated. Searches for reptiles and frogs are conducted bi-annually, once around September to beginning October and again in December of each year.
The Jervis Bay Plot Network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in the Jervis Bay Territory, south-eastern Australia.  The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades.
The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response.
This particular study forms part of the collection of data packages from the Jervis Bay Plot Network.  A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park.

Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Soil Depth (3&quot; resolution) - Release 1

&lt;p&gt;This is Version 1 of the Soil Depth product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is superseded by the Release 2 product that can be found at: &lt;span data-sheets-root=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../../../metadata/TERN/fa8f70ba-4134-4678-b5f6-e51d0628c35d&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Soil Depth (3&quot; resolution) - Release 2&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. This depth product estimates the depth of soil down to 2 metres. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). The soil attribute products are provided as continuous maps that represent each of six depth intervals to a maximum depth of 2 metres. We acknowledge that soil depth is variable across Australia, and in some landscapes there might be no soil or soil might be shallower than 2 metres. We have provided continuous maps because of the relative unavailability of data on soil depth. Further, existing data on depth is biased to near surface layers and there are few records that extend beyond 1.5m. Therefore, we provide here, our best estimate of soil depth to allow users to generate masks, which might be used together with the attribute maps to approximate the presence of areas with no soil or areas with shallow soil. We encourage users to draw on local data and expertise for such assessments. Attribute Definition: Depth of soil profile (A &amp; B horizons); Units: metres; Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2013; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 3; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Total size before compression: about 8GB; Total size after compression: about 4GB; Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: GeoTIFF.&lt;/p&gt;
