Seedling Transects Data, South-East Queensland Peri-Urban SuperSite, Samford, 2014

Brief description

Seedling transects were surveyed in 2012, however their locations relative to now permanent 20 m x 20 m subplot markers were difficult to identify based on previous measurements. Therefore, six new seedling transects approximating the original 2012 locations were established with individual plant positions marked by blue aluminium tags. Three 20 m x 1 m seedling transects were oriented 112° (transects 1 to 3) and three were oriented 292° (transects 4 to 6) within the 1 ha plot running in an approximate west-to-east or east-to-west direction. A measuring tape was laid between designated 20 m x 20 m subplot markers indicating the length (20 m) of each individual transect. The width of each seedling transect (1 m) was measured to the south of the 20 m tape for transects 1 to 3, and to the north of the 20 m tape for transects 4 to 6. Pre-existing tags from 2012 were identified where possible and recorded.
