Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot TIMA06, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

The LTERN Desert Uplands Plot Network Vegetation Survey Data contains presence data, species richness data and structural data for 1 of 60 (50 after 2008) permanent 1 hectare plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This data publication refers specifically to observations made at Plot TIMA06, and this data is accessible as a composite data package at the following location: Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts), Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html 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. The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Desert Uplands Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands

长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network, LTERN）荒漠高地样地网络植被调查数据集，收录了澳大利亚昆士兰州北部60个永久性1公顷样地（2008年后留存50个）中TIMA06样地的物种存在数据、物种丰富度数据与群落结构数据。本数据集特指TIMA06样地的观测成果，可作为复合数据包通过以下途径获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): 《荒漠高地样地网络：植被调查（物种存在数据、物种丰富度及茎秆与树洞计数数据）》，澳大利亚昆士兰州北部，2013年。出版机构：长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network）。访问链接：http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html

联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, CSIRO）永久性样地设于热带铁木林内，分布于一片约50km×50km区域内的4个租赁牧场上。该样地涵盖3种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐（移除所有乔木与灌木）；2）疏伐（移除地表与中层植被）；3）未受显著干扰的原生林地，未进行过大规模疏伐或皆伐作业

荒漠高地研究样地于2004年设立，并分别于2005年、2006年、2008年及2013年完成重访监测
