Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network: Phytophthera cinnamomi Associated with Vegetation Composition, Middleton Creek, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania, 1996-2012

Abstract: This data package comprises data that were used to produce the graph and conclusions found in figure 7.56 on page 263 of Lindenmayer et. al 2014, Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring Challenges and Directions. These data show the spread of Cinnamon Water Mould (Phytophthera cinnamomi) across 5 transects in Freycinet National Park, Tasmania. The transects sample different methods of treatment that are designed to alieviate the spread of the disease.

Study extent: Transects 1, 2 and 3 were not sampled in 1998, only 6 quadrats were surveyed in Transect 4

Project funding: These data were curated and published with strategic funds from a TERN initiative to publish long term data packages from the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring, Challenges and Direction.

Between 2002 and 2018 the Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN) supported by the Australian Government’s Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (www.tern.org.au) – an Australian research infrastructure project established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and Education Infrastructure Fund–Super Science Initiative through the (now) Department of Education and Training.
