TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve, Kangaroo Activity Data

The record lists data from surveys conducted to monitor Kangaroo activity in the TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve (or Koonamore Vegetation Reserve (KVR)) since 1960s. The kangaroo transect was set up in 1968 by Andrew Smith and Bob Lange to monitor kangaroo numbers on the Reserve and give a qualitative indication how numbers fluctuate from year to year. The transect runs east to west through the sandy dune areas of the southern part of the reserve, where kangaroos tend to congregate (inside), and extends some distance into the paddock to the west of the western boundary (outside). The dataset ranges from 1968 to 2022 and comprises the total number of kangaroo scats, which includes fresh and old scats. Goat and sheep pellets, if present, were later included in the count.

This is version 2.0 of the Koonamore Kangaroo activity data release and supersedes any previous versions.

本数据集收录了自20世纪60年代以来，用于监测TGB奥斯本（库纳莫尔）植被保护区（又称库纳莫尔植被保护区，Koonamore Vegetation Reserve，缩写KVR）内袋鼠活动状况的调查数据。该袋鼠样线由安德鲁·史密斯与鲍勃·朗格于1968年设立，旨在监测保护区内的袋鼠种群数量，并定性反映种群数量的年度波动情况。该样线自东向西横穿保护区南部的沙丘地带——该区域为袋鼠主要聚集区（样线内侧），并向西延伸至保护区西界外的牧场区域（样线外侧）。本数据集的时间跨度为1968年至2022年，统计对象为袋鼠粪便（包括新鲜与陈旧粪便）的总数量，后续统计过程中若存在山羊与绵羊的颗粒状粪便，也将被纳入计数范围。本数据集为库纳莫尔袋鼠活动数据第2.0版，取代此前所有旧版本。
