Desert Uplands Plot Network: Vegetation Survey (Presence Data, Species Richness and Stem and Hollow Counts) for Plot PENR06, 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 PENR06, 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

长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network，简称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年后剩余50个）中1个样地的物种出现数据、物种丰富度数据与群落结构数据。本数据集特指在PENR06号样地开展的观测结果，可作为整合数据包通过以下来源获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E（2014）：《澳大利亚昆士兰州北部沙漠高地样地网络植被调查（出现数据、物种丰富度及茎秆与树洞计数数据）》，2013年。长期生态研究网络。访问链接：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（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，简称CSIRO）设立的永久性样地分布于热带铁木林（Tropical Ironbark Woodlands），横跨约50km×50km范围内的4个租赁肉牛牧场。该样地涵盖3种植被管理策略，分别为：1）皆伐处理：移除所有乔木与灌木；2）疏伐处理：移除地表与中层植被；3）原生未干扰林分：未实施大规模疏伐或皆伐作业。沙漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，分别于2005、2006、2008及2013年开展了回访调查。针对热带雨林样地网络（Tropical Rainforest Plot Network）完整项目所收集的相关数据包概要，可通过以下链接查阅：http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/desert-uplands
