Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network (Fauna): Vertebrate Trapping, Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, 2016

These data are records of all vertebrates trapped during the 2016 Litchfield survey.

A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots were established between 1994-2002 across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in the top end of the Northern Territory, representing the Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network. A detailed flora and fauna survey has been conducted at each plot on a 5-6 year cycle to monitor biotic changes. Plots represent a variety of landforms and vegetation types.

Litchfield National Park contains 40 plots. In 2016, 20 plots were surveyed for terrestrial vertebrate fauna using a range of survey methods. In addition, at all plots sampling also occurred at a second plot directly adjacent to the traditional plot.

本数据集为2016年利奇菲尔德（Litchfield）野外调查中捕获的所有脊椎动物的记录。1994年至2002年间，北领地（Northern Territory）北部的三座国家公园——卡卡杜（Kakadu）、利奇菲尔德（Litchfield）与尼特米鲁克（Nitmiluk）——共设立220个永久性监测样地，该样地网络即为“三公园稀树草原火灾效应样地网络（Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network）”。每个样地均以5至6年为周期开展详尽的动植物调查，以监测生物群落变化；样地覆盖了多样的地貌与植被类型。利奇菲尔德国家公园共设有40个样地。2016年，研究团队采用多种调查方法对其中20个样地的陆生脊椎动物开展了调查。此外，所有样地的采样工作同时在紧邻传统样地的第二个配套样地中完成。“三公园稀树草原火灾效应样地网络”完整项目所采集的相关数据集概览，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/three-parks-savanna
