Southern Murray Mallee Landscape Assessent Framework Fieldwork (LAF) Survey

Southern Murray Mallee Landscape Assessment Framework (LAF). Biodiversity planning for key species and habitats in the Murray Mallee. Models of carefully chosen species, communities and ecosystems within three landscapes of the MMLAP produced. The models will document reasoning to suggest appropriate on-ground actions within appropriate areas of the trial landscapes. Survey work to determine the current distribution and status of species, communities and ecosystems in the trial landscapes. Survey started in 2005 and is still going. The Southern Murray Mallee Landscape Assessent Framework Fieldwork (LAF) 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.

Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network (Fauna): Vertebrate Trapping, Nitmiluk National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2017

These data are records of all vertebrates trapped at a set of sites within Nitmiluk National Park surveyed in either 2017 or 2018. A total of 20 sites were surveyed for terrestrial vertebrate fauna using a range of survey methods. Thirteen sites have prior monitoring through the Three Parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network which involved sampling at 5-6 year intervals at 220 plots established from 1996 – 2002. Seven sites have no prior monitoring. In 2017/18 a paired plot design was implemented at all sites, involving the duplication of some but not all survey methods at a second plot directly adjacent to the traditional plot. Cage and Elliott traps were operated at plot 1 (the traditional plot at those sites with prior sampling). Three pit traps were installed and operated within both plot 1 and plot 2. In addition, two funnel traps were installed on each pit trap. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Three Park Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/three-parks-savanna

Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot TIMA07, 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 TIMA07. 
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:

Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Bird Count Survey Data, Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, 2016

This bird count data package comprises repeated time-controlled point interval counts conducted annually along a permanent 100 metre-long transect.  The abundance of species observed or heard is recorded, and counts are not undertaken in poor weather (rain, fog or high wind).  Two five-minute counts are conducted at each site, one at the 20 m mark and the other at 80 m mark of the transect. All birds seen or heard are recorded and assigned to different distance classes.  Each site is surveyed on a different day by a different observer to reduce day effects on detection and reduce problems with observer differences.  Surveys are usually completed around late September each year.  Bird count surveys commenced in 2003 and have been conducted since on an annual basis. 
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.

Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Phenology Studies): Vegetation – Phenology Transect, South-east Highlands, Australia, 2011-2014

The Victorian Alpine Plot Network Vegetation – Phenology Transect Package contains phenology data which are sampled on the same dates, three times a year at transects situated at an altitude of 1400 m to 1880 m. These transects were established as a natural experiment - to provide infrastructure to validate the findings from the ATEX manipulated, experimental plots. The aim is to describe the phonological responses of alpine plants to environmental variables and assess the usefulness of this measure to assess vulnerability to changing abiotic (e.g. climate) and biotic (e.g. invasive species) factors.
This is part of a dataset that spans from during data collected in 2011 to document long-term effects directly through climate and indirectly through biotic interactions (see methods for more information).  The Victorian Alpine Plot Network research plots are revisited 4 times per year.   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
