Dalhousie Survey (Scientific Expedition Group) Survey

Witjira National Park Dalhousie Mound Springs survey conducted by Scientific Expedition Group (SEG) in 2003. Expedition Witjira 2003 was a major collaboration between the SEG, DEH and NPWS. The main objective was to conduct a biodiversity survey of the area, particularly the mound springs, to observe any differences between the springs with original vegetation and those where feral date palms are invading the springs.Other objectives were to search for rare rodents, Kowari and marsupial Moles ans survey for feral animals.  Report available - Expedition Witjira Interim Report: 12th-26th July, 2003 - A Biodiversity Survey of the Mound Springs and Surrounding Area (Spiral bound) Edited by Janet Furler, Edited by Richard Willing. The Dalhousie Survey (Scientific Expedition Group) Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Wabma Kardarbu Mound Springs Inventory Survey

Wabma Kadarbu CP was first Gazetted to include the Bubbler Group in July of 1996. The Park was expanded in October 2001 to include a further 9 spring groups.
As part of this inventory it was identified that the various datasets have gathered different information and have used a range of conventions. So the objective of the current trip is to bring the datasets to a minimum standard within the Wabma Kadarbu CP by gathering the following information:

Location and altitude information for each spring vent accurate to the nearest centimetre.
Standard physical description of spring units following Biological Survey methodologies.
Standardised labelling of springs vents.
Sampling of macro-invertebrate diversity.
Sampling of wetland dependant vegetation

The inventory was originally planned to include the Strangways spring group, but due to a larger than expected number of flowing springs within Wabma Kadarbu CP (WMC recorded 70 springs in the Wabma Kadarbu CP, whereas the May 2004 Inventory located 358 springs) it was decided to not include the Strangways group.
Internal Report available "Wabma Kadarbu CP Mound Springs Inventory- May 2004". Prepared by Andrew Graham, 
Biological Survey and Monitoring Group, DEH, June 2005.
The Wabma Kardarbu Mound Springs Inventory Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Nanangroe Plantation Plot Network: Bird Point Count Data, Southwest Slopes, NSW, Australia, 1998+

The Nanangroe Plantation Plot Network Bird Point Count Data contains counts of all birds seen and heard over five minute periods at each of the 0 m, 100 m and 200 m posts along a permanent 200 m transect at each site.  Dawn bird counts are conducted every 1-2 years using repeated point interval counts.  Repeated point counts by two different observers on two different days are undertaken. The distance that each bird was seen/heard at is recorded along with bird abundance and any anecdotal comments (e.g. breeding behaviour). Bird species presence/absence or detection rates within 50 m of the observer is commonly used for analysis.
The principle objective of the Nanangroe study is to directly quantify changes in woodland vertebrate assemblages and their relationships with habitat variables when the surrounding landscape matrix is converted from a semi-cleared grazing landscape to a landscape dominated by an exotic softwood plantation (Lindenmayer, DB, Cunningham, RB, MacGregor, C, Tribolet, C &amp; Donnelly, CF 2001, ‘A prospective longitudinal study of landscape matrix effects on fauna in woodland remnants: experimental design and baseline data’, Biological Conservation, vol 101 no 2, p. 160).
The study area is located in the Southwest Slopes of NSW west of Lake Burrinjuck and includes four exotic Pine Plantations (Nanangroe, Cotway, East Bungongo and Bungongo), as well as private properties adjacent those plantations. Repeated sampling of the vegetation structure and cover and selected vertebrate groups on all sites from 1998 has created a long term dataset. 
A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Nanangroe Plantation Forest Plot Network’s full program is provided at   http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/nanangroe-plantation.

Nanangroe Plantation Plot Network: Arboreal Marsupial Spotlight Survey, Southwest Slopes, NSW, 2015

This arboreal marsupial survey data package comprises spotlight surveys conducted every two years along 200 metre fixed transects at each site for 20 minutes per site. Distances along and adjacent to a transect are recorded. If animals are in a tree, tree species and animal height (distance from the ground to the animal) are also recorded. Sightings of exotic species (e.g. foxes, rabbits and pigs), as well as some non-arboreal (e.g. kangaroos) are also recorded.

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR04, 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 WOUR04.
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:

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Alpine Summit Plots): Lowland-to-highland Roadside Transects 4WD Tracks Data, South-East Highlands, Australia, 2016

This Victorian Alpine Plot Network Road Transects 4WD Track Data Package comprises transect-based vegetation data for two Lowland-to-highland 4WD 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 altitudinally stratified intervals along two altitudinally-stratified transects. The transects follow major roads and management tracks in the Victorian Alps. Each track is divided into altitudinal sectors in which a single plot is situated. Within each plot, all species are identified and are assigned abundance and 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.
