Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network: Bird Point Count Data, Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia, 2004+

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）鸟类点计数数据集收录了澳大利亚维多利亚州中部高地的该样地网络所研究的175个永久性3公顷样地中，81个样地子集的年度样线法鸟类群落调查数据。
鸟类调查采用5分钟计时点计数法，在一条永久性100米样线上的0米、50米及100米点位开展重复计数，调查时段通常为每年11月至12月，且多以年度为周期开展（需注意：2006年、2008年及2015年均未开展数据采集工作）。
每次调查由两名不同的观测者在两个独立的清晨完成观测记录。
本数据集是1983年启动的更大规模研究数据集的组成部分，该数据集对应维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络研究样地的正式设立，但研究方法于2004年发生调整，本时间序列的起始年份即为2004年。
