Bird Survey Data, South-East Queensland Peri-Urban SuperSite, Samford, 2015

Bird surveys were conducted within the 1 hectare SEQ Peri-urban SuperSite on 8 separate days between February and September 2015. Area search methodology was used for all surveys based on protocols described by Antos et al. (2008). Area searches involved searching a set route for a minimum of one hour, recording all species seen and numbers of those species, including species flying over if they have the potential to use the property, and recording weather conditions such as wind direction and strength, cloud cover and rainfall. Area searches are typically conducted over plots of approximately 1 to 3 hectares. Area searches are easily applied and flexible with regard to observer movement for observation and the shape of sample area, and are less sensitive to biases related to environmental variation such as weather and time of day.2015年2月至9月期间，研究人员在面积为1公顷的SEQ城郊超级样地（SEQ Peri-urban SuperSite）内，于8个独立调查日期开展了鸟类调查。所有调查均采用区域搜索法（Area search methodology），该方法依据Antos等人（2008）发表的调查规程制定。区域搜索法要求调查者沿预设路线开展至少1小时的搜寻工作，记录所有观测到的鸟类物种及其个体数量，涵盖具有潜在利用该区域可能性的飞越物种，并同步记录风向、风力、云量与降雨等天气条件。此类区域搜索法通常适用于面积约1至3公顷的调查样地，其具备操作简便、灵活性强的特点，可适配调查者的移动观测需求与样地的不规则形状，且受天气、观测时段等环境变化带来的观测偏差影响相对更小。
