Desert Ecology Research Group Plots (1990-2011) and Long Term Ecological Research Network (2012-2016), Simpson Desert, Western Queensland, Australia

The desert ecology plot network, located in the Simpson Desert in central Australia, aims to track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, both intrinsic to the resource pulse dynamics and due to human disturbance. These drivers include unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing.

坐落于澳大利亚中部辛普森沙漠（Simpson Desert）的荒漠生态样地网络，旨在追踪生物多样性与生态过程的长期动态变化及其与关键驱动因子的关联；这些驱动因子既包括资源脉冲动态的内在因素，也源自人类活动干扰。该类驱动因子涵盖不可预测的降雨与干旱、火灾、野化捕食者以及放牧活动。
