Nanangroe Plantation Plot Network: Vegetation Survey, Southwest Slopes, NSW, Australia, 2015

This data package consists of standardised vegetation condition measurements from the Nanangroe Plantation, NSW. Surveys are done every five years in three vegetation structure plots (20 m × 20 m) nested within the 2-ha sites. This survey measures ground cover, percentage of vegetation cover, species richness and structural measurements for each plot. The principle objective of the Nanangroe study is to directly quantify changes in woodland vertebrate assemblages and their relationships with habitat variables when the surrounding landscape matrix is converted from a semi-cleared grazing landscape to a landscape dominated by an exotic softwood plantation. The study area is located in the Southwest slopes of NSW west of Lake Burrinjuck and includes four exotic Pine Plantations (Nanangroe, Cotway, East Bungongo and Bungongo), as well as private properties adjacent those plantations. Repeated sampling of the vegetation structure and cover and selected vertebrate groups on all sites from 1998 has created a long term dataset. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Nanangroe Plantation Forest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/nanangroe-plantation.本数据集包含采自新南威尔士州（New South Wales，简称NSW）楠恩格鲁种植园（Nanangroe Plantation）的标准化植被状况测定数据。 调查每五年开展一次，在嵌套于2公顷（ha）样地内的3个植被结构样方（20米×20米）中进行。本调查针对每个样方测定地表覆盖度、植被覆盖百分比、物种丰富度及结构相关指标。 楠恩格鲁研究的核心目标是直接量化当周边景观基质从半开垦放牧景观转变为以外来软木种植园为主的景观时，林地脊椎动物群落的变化及其与生境变量的关联。 研究区域位于布里宁库克湖（Lake Burrinjuck）西侧的新南威尔士州西南坡带，涵盖4个外来松树种植园（楠恩格鲁、科特韦、东邦贡戈与邦贡戈），以及毗邻这些种植园的私有地块。 自1998年起，研究团队对所有样地的植被结构、覆盖度及选定的脊椎动物类群开展重复采样，由此形成了长期数据集。 作为楠恩格鲁种植园森林样地网络完整项目的一部分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/nanangroe-plantation。
