Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network: Site-level Plot Data Collected During an Assessment of the Ecological and Cost Effectiveness of Invasive Plant Management in Achieving Conservation Goals: a Long-term Experimental Study, 2007-2014

This vegetation data package comprises site level plot data collected as part of a controlled and replicated experimental study at Bherwerre Peninsula in Booderee National Park, which is located in the Jervis Bay Territory, Australia. The aim of the study is to estimate the effects of the different sub-treatments of Bitou Bush control methods on the abundance and recruitment of both the target species and native plant species. Sites were stratified into three broad groups, namely sites with no Bitou Bush; sites with Bitou Bush where a control regime of spray-fire-spray and spray-fire-fire was applied and combinations of particular treatments where only part of the treatment regime was applied. Data were collected from four 1 m x 1 m permanent survey plots situated on the 80 m transect on each of our 33 sites. Each site was surveyed on 14 occasions, at different stages of the treatment sequence, so comparisons of no treatment, a partial sequence of treatments, and a full sequence can be made from observations at the same site, resulting in 356 site-survey combinations in total. 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. These data were published as a component of the paper Lindenmayer et al., 2015. A Long-Term Experimental Case Study of the Ecological Effectiveness and Cost Effectiveness of Invasive Plant Management in Achieving Conservation Goals: Bitou Bush Control in Booderee National Park in Eastern Australia.
