Bird Survey Data, Alice Mulga SuperSite, 2015

To adequately sample the avian diversity and abundance at the TERN SuperSite Alice Mulga SuperSite, focusing upon the two OzFlux sites in the SuperSite: ASM (Alice Springs Mulga) and TTE (Ti Tree East), using structured repeatable methodologies. The national standard BirdLife Atlas Census Method would provide the baseline data for the survey. Results would be augmented by the use of several other ancillary methodologies to account for the low abundance, wide distribution and dynamic nomadism of the arid zone avifauna and also to detect nocturnal species which would usually not be encountered during daylight surveys. Results of this survey will form a dataset with which future survey results can be analysed against.

为完成TERN Alice Mulga超级站点内鸟类多样性与种群丰度的充分采样，本研究聚焦该超级站点内的两处OzFlux观测站点：ASM（Alice Springs Mulga，爱丽丝泉灌丛）与TTE（Ti Tree East，东蒂树），并采用标准化且可重复的调查方法。本次调查将以国家统一标准的BirdLife鸟类图谱普查方法（BirdLife Atlas Census Method）作为基线数据采集方案。针对干旱区鸟类区系种群丰度偏低、分布范围广泛且具有动态游荡习性的特征，同时为探测日间调查通常难以观测到的夜行性鸟类物种，本研究还将辅以多种辅助调查方法以补充基线数据。本次调查生成的结果将形成标准化数据集，用于后续鸟类调查结果的对照分析。
