This herpetofaunal search data package comprises herpetofaunal data recorded during time-controlled active searches along permanent 100 m long transects along which three artificial substrates have been incorporated. At the 20 m and 80 m points along each transect two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four half-length railway sleepers, are situated. Searches for reptiles and frogs are conducted bi-annually, once in August and again in December of each year. 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.

The 110 permanent sites in the study at Booderee National Park were first identified in 2002 using two stratifying variables: (1) broad vegetation type (heathland, forest, woodland, etc); and (2) past fire history – classified into four classes of time since the last fire (0-10 years, 11-20 years, 21-30 years and >30 years). The features of the experimental design - stratified random site selection, replication of classes, replication proportional to area, sampling of the plots both before and after unplanned wildfire, the occurrence of unburned ‘control’ sites and treatment (burned) sites, and continued surveys over time. Commencing at the 0m point a steel post has been placed at 20m intervals along a 100m long transect.

ArcGIS, GPS, tape measure, Steel posts, reflective tape.

Sites are surveyed for reptiles and frogs using artificial substrates. Two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four half-length railway sleepers have been placed at the 20 m and 80 m point of the transect. These transects are checked bi-annually in September and again in December of each year.

Substrates (corrugated iron, roof tiles and half-length railway sleepers Until December 2010 pitfall traps were used to capture small reptiles and frogs. Each site was trapped annually in December. Six pitfalls were placed each 20 m along a 100 m transect. Pitfalls were opened for three consecutive nights. Post 2010 sites are surveyed for reptiles and frogs using artificial substrates. Two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four ‘half length’ railway sleepers have been placed at the 20 m and 80 m point of the transect. These transects are checked bi-annually, once in September and again in December of each year. The 110 permanent sites in the study at Booderee National Park were first delineated in 2002 using two stratifying variables: (1) broad vegetation type (heathland, forest, woodland, etc.); and (2) past fire history – classified into four classes of time since the last fire (0-10 years, 11-20 years, 21-30 years and >30 years). 1397610412979 Data Owner Since 2012 this project has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN).
