Mallee Plot Network: Herbivore Activity Data, Western New South Wales and South Australia, Australia, 2014

The Mallee Plot Network Herbivore Activity Data Package contains scat count data for six of the fifty-three experimental 0.2 hectare sites which were established on dune crests and upper slopes in Tarawi Nature Reserve; Scotia Sanctuary and Danggali National Park. Sites in Tarawi NR include four herbivore exclosure pilot sites established during 1996-1998, with further herbivore exclosure sites constructed at all sites except those in Dangalli CP and the Scotia Sanctuary sites burnt in 2009 and 2010. The Mallee Plot Network research plots commenced in 1996 and were revisited annually for 3 years and then on a decadal basis. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Mallee Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/mallee马里植块样地网络食草动物活动数据包（Mallee Plot Network Herbivore Activity Data Package）收录了53个实验用0.2公顷样地中6个样地的粪便计数数据。这些样地均布设于塔劳伊自然保护区（Tarawi Nature Reserve）、斯科蒂亚野生动物保护区（Scotia Sanctuary）与丹加利国家公园（Danggali National Park）的沙丘脊线及上坡区域。塔劳伊自然保护区内的样地包含1996-1998年间设立的4个食草动物排除试点样地；除丹加利保护区（Dangalli CP）样地以及2009、2010年遭受林火的斯科蒂亚野生动物保护区样地外，其余所有样地均增设了食草动物排除样地。马里植块样地网络的研究样地始建于1996年，初始连续3年每年开展一次回访调查，之后改为每十年一次的定期复查。作为该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/mallee
