Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network: Plot-based Fire Severity Monitoring, Northern Territory, Australia, 1994+

This data package comprises fire severity scores from Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk from 1994 onwards. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x 20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 133 plots are located in Kakadu, 41 plots are located in Litchfield and 46 plots are located in Nitmuluk. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type/habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation (for example, stands of Callitris and sandstone heaths). In addition, many plots are located at, or in the near vicinity of, intensively managed sites such as camp-grounds and other tourist destinations. 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.

本数据集包含1994年起卡卡杜（Kakadu）、利奇菲尔德（Litchfield）及尼特米鲁克（Nitmiluk）三地的火灾严重度评分。
1994至1995年间，为监测生物变化，上述三座国家公园（卡卡杜、利奇菲尔德、尼特米鲁克国家公园）内共布设220块永久监测样地（规格为40米×20米）。
其中，卡卡杜国家公园内布设133块，利奇菲尔德国家公园41块，尼特米鲁克国家公园46块。
这些样地覆盖了多样的地貌、植被类型与生境条件。
相当比例的样地被刻意布设于能够展现环境动态变化的区域，尤其是生态交错带以及火敏感植被斑块（如澳柏属（Callitris）林与砂岩灌丛）。
此外，多数样地位于或紧邻人工集约管理区域，如露营地及其他旅游景点。
