Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot WOUR13, 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 WOUR13, 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 Tropical Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands

LTERN沙漠高地样地网络植被调查数据集包含澳大利亚昆士兰州北部60个永久性1公顷样地（2008年后缩减为50个）中1个样地的物种存在数据、物种丰富度数据与群落结构数据。本数据出版物特指WOUR13样地的观测结果，该数据集可通过以下组合数据包获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): 沙漠高地样地网络：植被调查（物种存在数据、物种丰富度及茎秆与树洞计数），澳大利亚昆士兰州北部，2013年。长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network）。访问地址：http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.143.33/html

澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）永久性样地分布于热带铁桉林地，横跨面积约50km×50km范围内的4处租赁牧牛牧场。该样地涵盖3种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐处理（清除所有乔木与灌木）；2）疏伐处理（清除地被层与中层植被）；3）未受干扰的原生林地（未开展大规模疏伐或皆伐作业）。

本沙漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，并分别于2005、2006、2008及2013年开展复查。作为热带雨林样地网络完整研究计划的一部分，相关配套数据集的概要信息可通过以下地址获取：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
