Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Herpetofaunal Search Data (Spring), Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, 2015

This herpetofaunal search data package comprises herpetofaunal data recorded along permanent 100 m transects along which three artificial substrates have been incorporated. At the 20 m and 80 m points along each transect two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four half-length railway sleepers, are situated. Searches for reptiles and frogs are conducted bi-annually, once around September to beginning October and again in December of each year. 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.

本爬行动物与两栖动物区系（herpetofaunal）调查数据集包，收录了沿永久100米样带（transect）记录的爬行动物与两栖动物（reptiles and frogs）区系数据，每条样带均布设3种人工基质（artificial substrates）。在每条样带的20米与80米点位处，分别设置2块波纹铁板（corrugated iron）、4片屋顶瓦片（roof tiles）及4根半长铁轨枕木（railway sleepers）。针对爬行动物与两栖动物的调查每半年开展一次，分别于每年9月至10月初，以及12月进行。杰维斯湾样地网络（Jervis Bay Plot Network）于2002年在澳大利亚东南部杰维斯湾领地（Jervis Bay Territory）的布德里国家公园（Booderee National Park）建立。该研究区域为植物区系多样的区域，数十年来的火灾历史均有详细记录。该样地网络的研究目标为量化自然干扰（natural disturbance）及/或管理干预（management intervention，包括杂草与外来动物防控（weed and feral animal control）、计划火烧（prescribed burning））与植被状况变化、生物多样性响应（biodiversity response）之间的相互关系。本项研究属于杰维斯湾样地网络数据集包（data packages）合集的一部分。杰维斯湾样地网络完整项目中已采集的相关数据集包概览，可通过http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park查阅。
