Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Terrestrial Mammal Survey Data, Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay Territory, 2012–2014

Brief description

This terrestrial mammal trapping data package comprises terrestrial mammal survey data recorded biennially over three consecutive nights. Surveys involve the use of ten baited Elliott Traps and six cage traps which are placed at each site. The Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in the Jervis Bay Territory, South-eastern Australia. The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades. The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response. The Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network study forms part of the collection of data packages by this plot network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park.
