Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot WOUR07, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013

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 WOUR07. 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 midstorey 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 2013. 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 (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013. Long Term Ecological Research Network. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.145.23/html The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013.

沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据（Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data）收录了澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50个永久1公顷样地中的1个样地的鸟类区系数据。本数据集出版物特指在WOUR07样地开展的观测记录。
澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，缩写CSIRO）设置的永久样地坐落于热带铁木林（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands）中，样地分布在约50km×50km范围内的4个租赁牧场上。这些样地对应三种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐：清除所有乔木与灌木；2）疏伐：清除地表及中层植被；3）未开展过大规模疏伐或皆伐的原生林地。
在每个1公顷样地中，研究人员会在为期4天的周期内开展8次时长为5分钟的日间鸟类计数。每个样地每日完成2次计数：一次为日出后3小时内的晨间计数，另一次为该时段结束至少3小时后至日落前的时段计数。
本数据集是2004年至2013年更大规模数据集的一部分。需说明的是，此前的研究曾在60个永久1公顷样地中开展，该完整数据集可通过以下组合数据包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2013.

沙漠高地研究样地于2004年启动，分别在2005年、2006年、2008年及2013年进行了回访调查。
