Tree and hollow attributes were measured for each HBT detected during these surveys. Plots were spaced at 500 m intervals, followed the elevation contour and each plot was 250 m long and 40 m wide. Tree and hollow characteristics were also measured. Karawatha Hollow Eucalypt DBH PPBio Read-only acess, unless stipulated by Professor Jean-Marc Hero.

Tagged trees (>30 cm DBH) were visited on PPBio plots for the precence of hollows. When a tree with a hollow was found, the species, DBH, alive/dead status, frequency of hollows, height of the hollows, shape and size of hollows and type of hollow was recorded.

Surveys occurred between June and August 2009. Sampling occurred on all 33 PPBio plots within Karawatha Forest Park. Taged trees (>30 cm DBH) within 20 m each side of the 250 m long transect were surveyd for hollows. asn_seqp_veg_hollow_trees_karfor_2009.csv asn_seqp_veg_hollow_trees_karfor_2009.csv column , ecogrid://knb/lollback.8.1 cn=allusers,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read uid=datalibrarian,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org all Site Plot ID Plot ID PLot ID for grid location.
