About Boola Boola Forest bird study

The site publishes the Boola Boola Forest bird study dataset collected by Narelle Weston for a PhD study of avian biodiversity across different forest age-classes in a managed, mixed-species eucalypt forest in Gippsland, south-eastern Australia. It covers surveys and habitat measurements from 2006 to 2007 in Boola Boola State Forest, Victoria.

Users can view bird presence data by habitat type on an interactive map and download all bird data or owl-only data as ESRI Shapefile or spreadsheet, with locations as coordinates or eastings/northings. Shapefiles require a GIS program to open, the original 50 survey stands were reduced to 28 after wildfire, and the data are licensed CC BY NC 3.0.
