Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot TIMA09, 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 TIMA09. 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 mid-storey 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: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014.

沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据（Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data）包含澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50处永久1公顷样地中1处的鸟类区系数据。本数据集出版物特指在TIMA09样地开展的观测记录。
英联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）设立的永久样地分布于热带硬铁木林地，横跨总面积约50km×50km范围内的4处租赁牧牛场地。这些样地对应3种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐（清除所有乔木与灌木）；2）疏伐（移除下层与中层植被）；3）未受干扰的原生林地（未开展大规模疏伐或皆伐作业）。
在每处1公顷样地内，于为期4天的周期中开展8次时长5分钟的日间鸟类计数。每个样地每日完成2次计数：一次为日出后3小时内的晨间计数，另一次为首次计数后至少3小时且于日落前完成的计数。
本数据为2004年至2014年的大型数据集的组成部分。此前的研究曾在60处永久1公顷样地开展，该完整数据集可通过以下复合数据集包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014. 长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network）. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.321.2/html.

沙漠高地研究样地于2004年设立，并分别于2005、2006、2008、2013及2014年进行回访调查。
