Ten Elliott traps and six cage traps were baited and placed on each site. The 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. This particular study forms part of the collection of data packages from the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park 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 data provider requests consultation, including a summary of the proposed research and intended use before publication of research utilising this data is possible. Please note that data collected prior to 2012 is available via mediated access only. This package provides four data tables: two with mediated access containing all data in the time series to date, and another two with open access containing all data from 2012 onwards.

Originally, in 2002, 110 permanent sites were identified for the study at Booderee National Park 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). When the project started in 2003, it was based on the original number of sites, but in March 2007 the number of sites increased to 130, as a result of including 20 new sites set up as part of the “Bitou experiment”. Features of the experimental design are: 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 0 m point a steel post has been placed at 20 m intervals along a 100 m long transect.

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

Surveys involve the use of 10 Elliott traps spaced 10 m apart and six cage traps (four small and two large) placed 20 m apart along the transect. Both Elliott and cage traps are baited with a mixture of peanut butter and rolled oats. The traps are checked within two hours of daylight for three consecutive mornings.

Elliott traps, large cage traps, small cage traps, bait mixture (peanut butter and rolled oats). Surveys have been conducted annually since 2003, over three consecutive nights using traps placed at specific intervals along a 100 m transect at sites in the plot network. Since March 2007, surveying has taken place at a total of 130 sites. These include the original 110 permanent sites in the study at Booderee National Park, as 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). Also included since March 2007 are 20 extra sites, set up as part of the “Bitou experiment”. 1397610412979 Data Owner Since 2012 this project has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN). LTERN is a Facility within the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN). TERN is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. Up until 2012 this project was funded by an ARC Linkage Grant and industry partners Parks Australia and the Department of Defence. ljbb_mammals_trapping_data_2003+_p905t1222.csv Survey data for Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Terrestrial Mammal Trappings, 2003+ ljbb_mammals_trapping_data_2003+_p905t1222.csv 1033073 1 #x0A column , ecogrid://knb/ltern7.123.1 cn=submitters,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org all cn=pn_jervis_bay,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read id Automatically generated record number Character visit_code Site visit code, linking survey data to visit table information Character species Scientific name of observed mammal Character abundance Count of number of animals in the trap number whole recapture Indicates that an animal was first captured in the current trapping period; a blank value indicates recapture status not recorded Character sex Sex of observed individual(s), if determinable Character age_cohort Growth stage; this is species specific, but is generally based on relative size and reproductive status; uncategorised individuals have a blank value Character trap_type Type of trap Character trap_number Sequential number of the trap Character tissue Tissue specimen collected Character 12647 ljbb_mammals_trapping_visit_2003+_p905t1223.csv Visit information for Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Terrestrial Mammal Trappings, 2003+ ljbb_mammals_trapping_visit_2003+_p905t1223.csv 437256 1 #x0A column , ecogrid://knb/ltern7.124.1 cn=submitters,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org all cn=pn_jervis_bay,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read visit_code Site visit code, which is the site (minus its "site_" prefix) prefixed by a 3-digit year code (see PDF file that gives the mapping from calendar years to 3-digit visit code prefixes) and suffixed by a trapping_night number.
