Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network: Bird Point Counts Associated with Fire Severity, Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia, 2004-2011

Abstract: 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. Fire severity scores are also collected.

These data were aggregated and published in the book Lindenmayer et. al., 2014. Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring, Challenges and Direction. CSIRO Publishing. p. 545. This data package is comprised of subsets of two other Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network data packages, and hence should be considered a derivative product.

This is part of a much larger dataset that began in 1983, when the Victorian Tall Eucalypt Forest Plot Network research plots commenced. 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://doi.org/10.25911/5c4445118125d.

Project funding: These data were curated and published with strategic funds from a TERN initiative to publish long term data packages from the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring, Challenges and Direction.

Between 2012 and 2018 the Victorian Tall Ecucalypt Plot Network has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN). This work was supported by the Australian Government’s Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (www.tern.org.au) – an Australian research infrastructure project established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and Education Infrastructure Fund–Super Science Initiative through the (now) Department of Education and Training.

摘要：维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络鸟类点计数数据集包含基于样带法的鸟类区系调查数据，该数据采集自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3公顷样地中的81个子集样地，逐年收集。同时同步采集火灾严重性评分。

本数据集经整合后，收录于Lindenmayer等人2014年出版的《生物多样性与环境变化：监测、挑战与发展方向》（Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring, Challenges and Direction）一书第545页，由CSIRO Publishing发行。本数据包由另外两个维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络数据集的子集构成，因此属于衍生数据集。

本数据集是1983年启动的大型数据集的组成部分，彼时维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络的研究样地正式设立。维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络完整项目所收集的相关数据包概要，可通过链接http://doi.org/10.25911/5c4445118125d获取。

项目资助：本数据集的遴选、整理与出版获得了TERN（Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network，陆地生态系统研究网络）计划的战略资金支持，用于出版Lindenmayer等人2014年《生物多样性与环境变化：监测、挑战与发展方向》一书中的长期数据包。

2012至2018年间，维多利亚高大桉树林样地网络（原文笔误为Ecucalypt）隶属于长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network, LTERN）。本研究得到澳大利亚政府陆地生态系统研究网络（Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network, www.tern.org.au）的资助，该网络是依据《国家协同研究基础设施战略》与《教育基础设施基金——超级科学倡议》设立的澳大利亚研究基础设施项目，由当时的教育与培训部（现相关部门已调整）负责管理。
