Brief description

The Desert Uplands Plot Network Bird Count Data contains bird fauna data collected at 60 1-hectare plots spanning 2006 to 2016. This is part of a larger dataset that spans from 2004 to 2016. The CSIRO permanent plots are situated in Tropical Ironbark Woodlands, and extend across four leasehold cattle properties that lie within an area approximately 50 km by 50 km. The plots represent three vegetation management strategies, namely: 1) clearing (where all trees and shrubs are removed); 2) thinning (where ground and midstorey 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. The Desert Uplands research plots commenced in 2004, and have been revisited in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2014 and 2016.
