Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot PENR02, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014

The Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data contains bird fauna data for 1 of 50 permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot PENR02. The CSIRO permanent plots are situated in Tropical Ironbark Woodlands, and extend across four leasehold cattle properties that lie within an area approximately 50km by 50km. The plots represent three vegetation management strategies, namely: 1) clearing (where all trees and shrubs are removed); 2) thinning (where ground and mid-storey vegetation is removed); and 3) unmodified native woodlands where significant thinning or clearing has not occurred. Within each 1 ha site, eight five-minute diurnal bird counts are conducted over a four day period. Two counts are completed per day at each site: one count in the morning within three hours of sunrise and the other a minimum of three hours after this period and before sunset. This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 2004 to 2014. Note that previous studies were undertaken at 60 permanent 1 hectare plots and that this data is accessible as a composite data package: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014.

Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.167.18/html The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2013 and 2014.

沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据集（Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data）收录了澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50处永久1公顷样地中的1处鸟类区系数据。本数据集出版物特指在PENR02样地开展的观测记录。
澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）设立的永久样地分布于热带铁木林（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands）中，覆盖总面积约50km×50km范围内的4处租赁牛场用地。该批样地涵盖3种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐样地：清除所有乔木与灌木；2）疏伐样地：清除地表及中层植被；3）未受干扰原生林样地：未开展过大规模疏伐或皆伐作业。
在每处1公顷样地内，研究人员于4天周期内开展8次日间鸟类计数，单次计数时长为5分钟。每日在每处样地完成2次计数：一次在日出后3小时内的清晨时段，另一次则于清晨计数结束至少3小时后、日落前开展。
本数据集隶属于时间跨度为2004年至2014年的更大规模数据集。需注意，此前的研究曾在60处永久1公顷样地开展，完整数据集可通过如下组合数据包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.321.2/html.

沙漠高地研究样地于2004年设立，分别于2005、2006、2008、2013及2014年进行回访调查。与热带雨林样地网络（Tropical Rainforest Plot Network）全项目相关的数据集概要可通过以下链接获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
