Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot WOUR01, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The LTERN Desert Uplands Plot Network Vegetation Survey Data contains presence data, species richness data and structural data for 1 of 60 (50 after 2008) permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot WOUR01, and this data is accessible as a composite data package at the following location: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013.

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.

The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Uplands Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands

长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network，LTERN）Desert Uplands样地网络植被调查数据包含澳大利亚昆士兰州北部60个（2008年后为50个）永久性1公顷样地中1个样地的存在数据、物种丰富度数据及结构数据。本数据出版物特指在WOUR01样地开展的观测，相关数据可通过以下复合数据包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014)：Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013.

澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，CSIRO）的永久性样地位于热带铁皮木林地（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands），分布在昆士兰州北部一片约50km×50km区域内的4个租赁牧场中。这些样地代表三种植被管理策略，具体为：1）清理（移除所有树木与灌木）；2）疏伐（移除地面及中层植被）；3）未受显著疏伐或清理干扰的原生林地。

Desert Uplands研究样地于2004年启动，并分别于2005年、2006年、2008年及2013年进行复查。作为Desert Uplands样地网络完整项目的一部分，相关数据包的摘要信息可访问以下网址获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
