Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot TIMA02, 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 TIMA02. 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集包含澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50个永久性1公顷样地中单个样地的鸟类区系数据。本数据出版物特指TIMA02样地的观测记录。澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）的永久性样地坐落于热带铁木林（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands）中，分布在总面积约50km×50km范围内的4个租赁牧场上。该批样地涵盖3种植被管理策略，具体如下：1）皆伐：清除所有乔木与灌木；2）疏伐：移除地被与中层植被；3）未受干扰的原生林地：未开展过大规模疏伐或皆伐的原生区域。在每个1公顷样地内，研究人员会在4天周期内完成8次为期5分钟的日间鸟类计数。每个样地每日开展2次计数：一次为日出后3小时内的清晨计数，另一次则于该时段结束至少3小时后、日落前完成。本数据集属于2004至2014年收集的更大规模数据集的组成部分。需注意，此前的相关研究曾在60个永久性1公顷样地中开展，该复合数据集可通过以下引用获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): 澳大利亚昆士兰州北部沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据与记录，2014。长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network, LTERN）。网址：http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.321.2/html。该样地的空间坐标可通过以下数据出版物获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): 澳大利亚昆士兰州北部沙漠高地样地网络：样地详情——空间坐标。长期生态研究网络。网址：http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.167.18/html。沙漠高地研究样地于2004年设立，并分别于2005、2006、2008、2013及2014年进行了回访调查。沙漠高地样地网络完整项目所收集的相关数据集概要，可通过以下网址获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
