Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network: Bird Point Count Data, Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia, 2014

The Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network Bird Point Count Data contains transect-based bird fauna data collected annually at a subset of 81 of the 175 permanent 3 hectare plots studied by the plot network in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia. Birds are counted using repeated time-controlled (5 minute) point interval counts conducted at 0 m, 50 m and 100 m along a permanent 100 m long transect, ordinarily over November/December and usually on an annual basis (note there was no data collection in 2006, 2008, or 2015, for example). Observations are made by two different observers on two separate mornings. This is part of a much larger dataset that began in 1983, when the Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network research plots commenced (but the research methods changed in 2004, which is the start year for this time series). A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-tall-eucalypt-forest

《维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络（Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network）鸟类点计数数据集》包含基于样线的鸟类区系调查数据，其采集自澳大利亚维多利亚州中部高地的该样地网络所研究的175个永久3公顷样地中的81个子集样地，为年度监测序列。鸟类计数采用重复时间受控（5分钟）的点间隔计数方案：沿一条100米长的永久样线，分别在0米、50米、100米处开展计数，调查通常于每年11月至12月进行，且多以年度为周期开展监测（需注意2006、2008及2015年未进行数据采集）。本次观测由两名不同的观测者在两个独立的上午完成。该数据集是1983年启动的更大规模数据集的组成部分——彼时该样地网络的研究样地正式设立，但研究方法于2004年发生变更，本时间序列即自此起始。关于该网络完整研究计划中收集的相关数据包概要，可通过以下链接查阅：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-tall-eucalypt-forest
