NERP Fauna Survey Protocols Field Trial Data 2015

The dataset contains information from the first initial trial of the AusPlots Fauna Protocol conducted at Calperum Station, Renmark, South Australia. Selected proposed methodologies and fauna survey techniques were trialled for logistical purposes. After the field trials, the proposed methodologies and techniques were refined. The dataset contains species information on fauna species captures, observations, and specimen collections from the April-May 2015 field trials. The data can be used to review the outcomes of the survey methodologies, presence data of the species recorded, morphological details of the animals recorded, and relate field data to the whole specimen and tissue specimens collected. The Enhancing Long-term Surveillance Monitoring Across Australia Programme will enhance the breadth and depth of Australia's terrestrial ecosystem condition monitoring and reporting at national and regional scales through building on the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) AusPlots Facility. Specifically, this will be achieved by increasing the range and type of AusPlots field sites and monitoring, and through providing guidelines, protocols manuals or standards that will enhance environmental data quality.

该数据集包含于澳大利亚南澳州伦马克市卡尔佩鲁牧场（Calperum Station, Renmark, South Australia）开展的AusPlots动物群方案（AusPlots Fauna Protocol）的首次试点试验相关信息。为验证后勤可行性，研究团队对部分拟采用的方法学与动物调查技术开展了试点测试。野外试点结束后，相关拟用方法与技术得到了优化完善。本数据集收录了2015年4-5月野外试点期间获取的动物群物种捕获记录、观测数据以及标本采集相关的物种信息。该数据集可用于评估调查方法的实施效果、已记录物种的存在性数据、观测个体的形态学细节，还可将野外采集数据与采集到的完整标本及组织标本进行关联分析。“澳大利亚全域长效监测强化计划（Enhancing Long-term Surveillance Monitoring Across Australia Programme）”将以陆地生态系统研究网络（Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, TERN）的AusPlots设施（AusPlots Facility）为基础，在国家与区域尺度上拓展澳大利亚陆地生态系统状况监测与报告的覆盖广度与深度。具体而言，该计划将通过扩充AusPlots野外样地的范围与类型、优化监测工作，以及制定相关指南、规程手册或标准来提升环境数据的质量。
