As such, it supplements the other Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network data packages, by providing spatial coordinates for each of the site codes recorded in their data tables. 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. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park. 0501 ANZSRC-FOR Geographic Plot details Plot setup Spatial coordinates Keywords CC-BY-4_0 Special Conditions: Co-authorship with the data provider (Professor David Lindenmayer) of any publication of research utilising this data is an expected outcome.

Originally, in 2002, 110 permanent observation 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 observation sites, but in March 2007 the number increased to 130, as a result of including 20 new sites set up as part of the “Bitou experiment”. Also specific to the “Bitou experiment”, 10 extra control sites were established, bringing the total number of sites in the plot network to 140. The so-called “Bitou Control” sites are untreated, non-bitou sites used as benchmarks in relevant vegetation surveys.

ArcGIS, GPS When the project started in 2003, surveying was conducted at a total of 110 observation sites. Then, since March 2007, surveying has taken place at a total of 130 observation sites. The 130 observation sites include the original 110 permanent sites in the study at Booderee National Park, as first delineated in 2002, and, since March 2007, 20 additional sites set up as part of the “Bitou experiment”. 1397610412979 Data Owner ljbb_plot_details_p57t213.csv Spatial Coordinates for Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network ljbb_plot_details_p57t213.csv 9478 1 #x0A column , ecogrid://knb/ltern7.75.1 cn=submitters,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org all cn=pn_jervis_bay,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read cn=nesp,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read uid=lane,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read site_number Site code, which is a combination of site (vegetation) type and plot number, uniquely identifying an observation site; note this column links spatial coordinates information to observation records in the various other Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network data packages.
