The objectives aim to address the underlying research questions: 1. What is the relationship between vegetation condition and biodiversity, and is this relationship consistent across vegetation types? 2. How do natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) alter vegetation condition and the response of biodiversity? The Plot Network collects standardized vegetation condition measurements which are repeated every three years, birds point counts (annually), arboreal marsupial and terrestrial mammal surveys (biennially) and reptile surveys (annually). Study Area Description: Booderee National Park on the south east coast of New South Wales, South-eastern Australia. The study commenced in 2002 and encompasses the study of small mammals, birds and reptiles (annually); arboreal marsupials (biennially) and vegetation - every three years.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 -- Australia10.25911/5c3c070a5ee94Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
