Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Arboreal Marsupial Spotlight Surveys, Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, 2013

This spotlight survey data package comprises transect-based arboreal marsupial counts using spotlighting surveys which is undertaken for a duration of 20 minutes along each 100 metre transect. The abundance of species observed or heard is recorded, and counts are not undertaken in poor weather (rain, fog or high wind). Opportunistic records of the presence of nocturnal bird and frog species are also recorded. Spotlight surveys commenced in 2002 and have been conducted annually until 2007 and biennially thereafter. The Jervis Bay Plot Network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in Jervis Bay Territory, South-eastern Australia. The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades. The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response. The Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network study forms part of the collection of data packages by this plot network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park.本数据集为样带灯光调查数据包，包含采用夜间灯光样带调查法（spotlighting surveys）获取的树栖有袋动物计数数据，调查以100米样带为单元，每条样带的调查时长为20分钟。调查将记录观测或听闻的物种个体丰度，且在降雨、大雾或强风等恶劣天气下不会开展计数工作。同时亦会记录夜行性鸟类与蛙类的偶见存在记录。 该灯光调查始于2002年，2007年前每年开展一次，此后改为每两年开展一次。杰维斯湾样地网络（Jervis Bay Plot Network）于2002年在澳大利亚东南部杰维斯湾领地的布德里国家公园（Booderee National Park）建立。 该研究区域植物区系多样，数十年来的火灾历史均有完整记录。 该样地网络的研究目标为量化自然干扰及/或管理干预（包括杂草防治、外来入侵野生动物管控与计划火烧）与植被状况、生物多样性响应的双向变化之间的相互关系。杰维斯湾布德里国家公园样地网络研究属于该样地网络数据集合集的一部分。 杰维斯湾布德里国家公园样地网络完整项目所收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/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park。
