Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR16, 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 WOUR16. 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. 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.

The spatial coordinates for this plot are provided in the following data publication: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Plot Details - Spatial Coordinates, Northern Queensland, Australia. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.167/html The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2013 and 2014.

沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据集包含澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50个永久1公顷样地中的1个样地的鸟类区系数据。本数据出版物特指WOUR16号样地的观测记录。联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）的永久样地设于热带铁木桉林地中，分布于总面积约50km×50km的4处租赁牧牛牧场范围内。该批样地对应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（清除地表及中层植被）；3）未受干扰的原生林地（未开展大规模疏伐或皆伐作业）。
在每个1公顷样地内，于4天周期内开展8次时长5分钟的日间鸟类计数：每日完成2次计数，一次为日出后3小时内的晨间计数，另一次则于晨间计数结束至少3小时后至日落前完成。
本数据集为2004年至2014年的更大规模数据集的组成部分。此前的相关研究曾在60个永久1公顷样地开展，完整数据集可通过以下组合数据包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.285/html

沙漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，分别于2005、2006、2008、2013及2014年进行回访调查。作为沙漠高地样地网络完整研究计划的一部分，相关配套数据包的概要可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
