Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network: Plot-based Fire Severity and Biomass Monitoring, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia

This data package comprises fire severity scores from Kakadu in 2014. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x  20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 132 plots are located in Kakadu. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type/habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation. For example stands of Callitris, sandstone heaths. As well, many plots are located at, or in the near vicinity of, intensively managed sites such as camp-grounds and other tourist destinations. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Three Park Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network’s full program is provided at LTERN

本数据集包含2014年卡卡杜（Kakadu）地区的火灾烈度评分数据。1994-1995年，研究团队在三座国家公园（卡卡杜（Kakadu）、利奇菲尔德（Litchfield）与尼特米鲁克（Nitmiluk））内共设立220个永久性监测样地（规格为40米×20米），用于监测生物群落变化。其中132个样地位于卡卡杜地区，覆盖多样的地貌、植被类型及生境条件。大量样地被刻意设置在易于观测环境动态变化的区域，尤其是生态交错带（ecotones）以及火敏感型植被斑块中，例如澳柏属（Callitris）林和砂岩灌丛。此外，诸多样地设置在露营地及其他旅游景点等受人为高强度管理的区域，或其邻近区域。关于“三公园稀树草原火灾效应监测样地网络”完整项目所收集的相关数据集概要，可于LTERN平台查阅。
