Bird Survey Data, Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite, Silvicultural Systems Trial External Control, 2014

The dataset contains records of bird species encountered during point-count surveys done in spring-summer 2014 along “Bird Track” within the Warra Long-Term Ecological Research site (www.warra.com). The 2014 Bird Track survey adds to bird surveys done annually along that survey route since 2004. The Bird Track survey route is situated in Eucalyptus obliqua primary (unlogged) forest. It serves as the External Control for the Warra Silvicultural Systems Trial which compares clearfell harvesting with its alternatives in tall, wet Eucalyptus obliqua forest using a before-after-control-impact (BACI) design. Lefort and Grove (2009) document the results for birds in that study for the first three years after harvesting.
