Abstract

This data package is a derivative product consisting of a subset of already published data fire severity data packages (from Dr Jeremy Russell-Smith), combined with data indicating time since last fire (from Brett Murphy). These data are used to produce the graphs and conclusions found on pages 355 & 356 of Lindenmayer et. al 2014, Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring Challenges and Directions. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x 20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 132 plots are located in Kakadu, 41 plots are located in Litchfield, and 47 are located in Nitmiluk. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type /habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation. For example stands of Callitris, sandstone heaths. As well, many plots are located at, or in the near vicinity of, intensively managed sites such as camp-grounds and other tourist destinations. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Three Park Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/three-parks-savanna

Funding

These data were curated and published with strategic funds from a TERN initiative to publish long term data packages from the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring, Challenges and Direction. Since 2012 the Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN). This work was supported by the Australian Government’s Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (www.tern.org.au) – an Australian research infrastructure project established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and Education Infrastructure Fund–Super Science Initiative through the (now) Department of Education and Training.

Methods and Sampling Information
Methods
Method Step 1
Description
Plot set-up

The over-all plot sizes are 40 x 20 metre. Each plot is permanently located by a central metal star picket and GPS waypoint. Plots relocated by helicopter have a round large white lid on top to assist sighting the plot from air.

A permanent photo picket with number plate is placed 10 metre inside the plot parallel with the plot sides.

The corners and inner transects are marked by metal droppers.

The inner 40 x 10 metre plot is delineated with measuring tapes. Two 50 metre tapes are laid out 5 metre either side of central photo picket, parallel to the longer central axis, starting at zero on the left hand side heading to the back of the plot, and again at zero on the right hand side heading to the top of the plot.

NB: some plots are not strictly 40 metre due to plot landscape constraints.

Instrument
  • Metal star pickets
  • GPS
  • 50 metre measuring tapes
Method Step 2
Description
Record of fire occurrence

Fire occurrence is recorded based on on-ground plot visits, and from aerial ground-truthing assessments of each park’s satellite-based fire mapping programme.

An assessment is made as to whether the plot was unburnt, patchily burnt (ground cover at least 20% unburnt), or burnt, in three seasonal periods as follows: Wet season (w) - from onset of rains (typically November) until their cessation (typically March - April); Early dry season (e) - from end of wet season until end of July; Late dry season (L) - from August until start of rains.

Method Step 3
Description
Ground-based photos

Photos are supposed to be taken biannually, post wet season and late dry season. Often parks staff only manage one photo per year.

Instrument
  • Digital camera
Method Step 4
Description
Fire severity score raw

Fire severity is scored for each recorded fire event from plot photos.

Plot photos are scored by a member of the research team and fire managers from the park.

Two seasonal photos per plot in any 1 year are not always available. However, in nearly all instances it is possible to confidently attribute fires to (1) season, given recourse to comprehensive plot records; and (2) severity class, by close examination of differences between foliage condition and vegetation structure in photo temporal sequences.

Note: This method may not detect all fires of very low severity or high patchiness occurring especially in wet or early dry season periods given rapid post-fire regrowth under high soil moisture conditions.

Fire severity is recorded using one or more the following categories:

• 0 = Unburnt

• 1 = Low

• 2 = Moderate

• 3 = High

• P = Patchily burnt

• U = Unburnt

• B = Burnt. Photo records missing.

• wet = Burn that occurred in the wet season

If no assessment is done the fire severity is recorded as NA.

Method Step 5
Description
Fire severity score

All raw fire severity scores are mapped to

• 0 = Unburnt

• 1 = Low

• 2 = Moderate

• 3 = High

U->0

B->1

P->1

NA->0

wet-> removed

Method Step 6
Description
Time since last fire

The time since last fire occurrence is calculated in decimal years. This is NA from 1994 until the first recorded burn, unless there was no recorded burn before 1997, in which case 1994 wet season is set to be the first burn occurrence.
