Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot PENR05, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The LTERN Desert Uplands Plot Network Vegetation Survey Data contains presence data, species richness data and structural data for 1 of 60 (50 after 2008) permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot PENR05, and this data is accessible as a composite data package at the following location: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013.

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.

The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Uplands Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands

澳大利亚长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network，LTERN）沙漠高地样地网络植被调查数据集，涵盖澳大利亚昆士兰州北部60个永久性1公顷样地（2008年后剩余50个）中1个样地的物种存在数据、物种丰富度数据与群落结构数据。本数据出版物特指PENR05样地的观测结果，该数据以整合数据包形式可通过以下途径获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013. 澳大利亚长期生态研究网络。http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html

CSIRO永久样地分布于热带铁斑林（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands）中，覆盖约50km×50km范围内的4个租赁畜牧牧场。这些样地对应三类植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐（移除全部乔木与灌木）；2）疏伐（移除地表与中层植被）；3）未受干扰的原生林地（未进行大规模疏伐或皆伐作业）。

沙漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，并分别于2005、2006、2008及2013年开展了回访调查。作为沙漠高地样地网络完整研究计划的一部分，已采集的相关数据集概要可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
