Victorian Alpine Plot Network (Phenology Studies): Plot Details - Spatial Coordinates for Insect Flower Visitors Survey 2009-2012, South-east Highlands, Australia

This package contains spatial data relating to the insect flower surveys conducted from 2009 to 2012. Sites were established as a natural experiment - to provide infrastructure to validate the findings from the ATEX manipulated, experimental plots. The aim is to describe the phonological responses of alpine plants to environmental variables and assess the usefulness of this measure to assess vulnerability to changing abiotic (e.g. climate) and biotic (e.g. invasive species) factors.

This is part of a dataset that spans from during data collected in 2011 to document long-term effects directly through climate and indirectly through biotic interactions (see methods for more information). The Victorian Alpine Plot Network research plots are revisited 4 times per year. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Victorian Alpine Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-alpine

本数据包包含2009年至2012年间开展的昆虫访花调查相关空间数据。本次调查设置的样地作为自然实验开展，旨在为验证经ATEX操控的实验样地的研究结果提供支撑平台。本数据集旨在描述高山植物对环境变量的物候响应，并评估该指标用于衡量非生物（如气候）与生物（如入侵物种）因子变化下的脆弱性的有效性。

本数据集为完整数据集的一部分，涵盖2011年起收集的、用于直接通过气候途径、间接通过生物相互作用记录长期效应的数据（详见研究方法）。维多利亚州高山样地网络（Victorian Alpine Plot Network）的研究样地每年需回访4次。作为该网络完整研究计划一部分收集的相关数据包概要，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/victorian-alpine
