Key research questions: 1. What structural and compositional changes are occurring in upland swamps? 2. What is the nature of co-variation and feedback between vegetation and soil properties? 3. What are the effects of alternative fire regimes and how can responses be characterised by trends in functional groups of species? Surveys: - Vegetation and soils are systematically surveyed on an irregular basis determined by the occurrence of fires.Research on these plots was funded by competitive grants from the National Science Foundation (USA) from 1963-2003.The Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN) was a facility of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN). LTERN was supported by the Australian National University and the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and the Super Science Initiative.application/vnd.ms-excelen-AUAuthor/s retain copyrighthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Biodiversity conservation -- AustraliaEnvironmental monitoring -- AustraliaEnvironmental management -- Australia201810.25911/5c1313b2b2644Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
