Desert Uplands Plot Network: Bird Count Data and Notes for Plot TIMA07, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014

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 TIMA07. 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. 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 2014. 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 (2015): Desert Uplands Plot Network, Bird Count Data and Notes, Northern Queensland, Australia, 2014.

沙漠高地样地网络（Desert Uplands Plot Network）鸟类计数数据集收录了澳大利亚昆士兰州北部50个永久性1公顷样地中1个样地的鸟类区系数据，本数据集特指TIMA07号样地的观测记录。澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）的永久性样地分布于热带铁木林带，覆盖约50km×50km范围内的4处租赁肉牛牧场。这些样地涵盖3类植被管理策略，分别为：1）全清伐：移除所有乔木与灌木；2）疏伐：移除地表及中层植被；3）原生林保留：未开展大规模疏伐或清伐的原生林地。每个1公顷样地均在4天周期内开展8次为期5分钟的日间鸟类计数。每日在每个样地完成2次计数：一次为日出后3小时内的晨间计数，另一次为晨间计数结束至少3小时后、日落前的时段计数。本数据集是2004至2014年大型观测数据集的组成部分。需注意，此前的研究曾在60个永久性1公顷样地开展，本数据集的整合数据包可通过以下文献获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2015): 澳大利亚昆士兰州北部沙漠高地样地网络鸟类计数数据及记录，2014. 长期生态研究网络（Long Term Ecological Research Network）. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.321.2/html。该样地的空间坐标可通过以下文献获取：Metcalfe, D; Vanderduys, E (2014): 澳大利亚昆士兰州北部沙漠高地样地网络：样地详情——空间坐标. 长期生态研究网络. http://www.ltern.org.au/knb/metacat/ltern2.167.18/html。沙漠高地研究样地始建于2004年，并分别于2005、2006、2008、2013及2014年开展回访观测。沙漠高地样地网络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
