Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network: Fire History, Dharawal National Park and Dharawal Nature Reserve, Sydney Basin, NSW, Australia, 1965–2012

The Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network Fire History Data Package records the history of fire across 54 established swamp monitoring sites in upland swamps scattered throughout the study area (Keith and Myerscough 1993). The fire history prior to the establishment of plots in 1983 has been compiled from records and maps held by Sydney Catchment Authority and the National Parks and Wildlife Service including wildfires and prescribed burns (Keith et al. 2006). Since 1982, fire occurrences on the plots have been verified by personal observations (David Keith). Spatial distributions of upland swamp vegetation was interpreted visually from aerial photography flow in 1960 and 1998, and the data were digitally captured and stored.

The Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network research plots were established in 1983. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/upland-heath-swamps.

高地石楠沼泽样地网络（Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network）火灾历史数据包记录了分布于研究区域内各高地沼泽中的54个已设立沼泽监测样地的火灾历史（Keith与Myerscough，1993）。1983年样地设立前的火灾历史，由悉尼集水区管理局（Sydney Catchment Authority）与国家公园与野生动物管理局（National Parks and Wildlife Service）留存的记录与地图汇编而来，涵盖野火与计划火烧（Keith等，2006）。1982年以来，样地上的火灾发生情况均通过David Keith的实地观测得到验证。高地沼泽植被的空间分布通过目视解译1960年与1998年的航空摄影影像序列得到，相关数据已完成数字化采集与存储。
高地石楠沼泽样地网络的研究样地于1983年设立。作为该网络完整研究计划一部分收集的相关数据包概要，可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/upland-heath-swamps。
