Upland Health Swamps Plot Network: Royal National Park, Sydney Basin data packages, 1965-2018

Aim: Improve understanding of the roles of climate and fire regimes in the dynamics and persistence of upland swamps and their biodiversity. 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.
