Mean monthly net 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:9630 . The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18670

Daily root-zone soil moisture (0-1 m soil layer), 97.5th percentile of the ensemble of model estimates: AWRA 0.5, 0.05 degree, Australian Coverage, 2000-2011

Modelled top-layer soil moisture (0-10 cm) using the Australian Water Resources Assessment model via assimilation of satellite soil moisture products: 97.5th percentile of the ensemble of model estimates.  Note that the data represents the mean of an ensemble of 100 modelled estimates for each data derived via perturbed meteorological forcing. Resolution of the output data is 0.05-degree for the whole country. The unit of measure is relative wetness (0-1, indicating 0 and 100% degree of saturation).

Desert Ecology Plot Network: Vegetation Plot-data, Simpson Desert, Western Queensland, 1993+

This vegetation data package comprises structure and floristic data for selected points across grids described in related data packages. Vegetation attributes were recorded in an area occupying 2.5 m radius around six traps on each trapping grid and have been aggregated to grid level data. Percentage cover of all plant species, flowering index and seeding index (from 0-5, where 0 is no flowering or seeding and 5 is maximal flowering/seeding) were recorded and are presented here as plot averages which represent the mean amount of flowering or seeding per species. The network program uses a core of 12 sites which are sampled every April-May. The trapping survey aims to quantitatively track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, including unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Ecology's full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-ecology.

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot PENR10, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014

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 PENR10.
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 2014. Note that previous studies were undertaken at 60 permanent 1 hectare plots and that this data is accessible as a composite data package:
