These permanent plots, arranged in eight 30 metre transects, were originally established in 1990. This spatial data complements data collected from soil moisture, soil properties and floristics surveys conducted at these sites. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Upland Heath Swamps Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/upland-health-swamps.

In 1990, 56 permanent 0.5 x 0.5 metre plots were established along eight 30 metre transects arranged in pairs, with each transect comprising seven plots spaced 5 metres apart. The four transect pairs are spaced a mean distance of 211 metres apart (min = 104 m; max = 323 m). UTM (GDA94) northings and eastings were recorded using GPS.

Accompanying soil properties data was collected in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2002 and 2014. Soil moisture probe readings were recorded from August 2013 until July 2014. Spatial data is not available for T5Q5, T5Q6 and T6Q7. NA 1408532875740 Data Owner Since 2012 this project has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN).
