Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot WOUR05, 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 WOUR05, 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

LTERN荒漠高地样地网络植被调查数据集，收录了澳大利亚昆士兰州北部60个永久性1公顷样地（2008年后缩减为50个）中1个样地的物种存在数据、物种丰富度 (species richness) 数据与群落结构数据。本数据集特指WOUR05样地的观测结果，可通过以下链接获取复合数据包：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): 澳大利亚昆士兰州北部荒漠高地样地网络植被调查（存在数据、物种丰富度及植株与树洞计数数据），2013年。长期生态研究网络。http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html

CSIRO（澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织，Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation）永久性样地设于热带铁桉林地，分布于总面积约50km×50km范围内的4个租赁畜牧牧场中。该样地对应三类植被管理方案，具体如下：1）皆伐组：移除全部乔木与灌木；2）疏伐组：移除地表植被与中层植被；3）原生对照组：未开展大规模疏伐或皆伐操作的原生林地。

荒漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，并分别于2005、2006、2008及2013年完成回访。荒漠高地样地网络完整项目所采集的相关数据包摘要，可通过以下链接查阅：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
