Fish diversity and discharge rates in Bornean rainforest streams
<b>Description: </b><p>TFE Field course 2020 group project. Recorded the fish communities and discharge rates along 100m transects on 7 rainforest streams in and around the SAFE project site in Sabah, Borneo. <br>- Stream discharge: this was estimated using gulp-injection dilution gauging using table salt as the tracer. An Omega CDH-SD conductivity logger was used to record stream conductivity at 1 second intervals. The conductivity meter was set up at 0m on the stream's transect, it was left to stabilise and then 50m upstream 200g of salt was injected. Conductivity was monitored for a peak followed by a return to original levels.<br>- Electrofishing: For each stream fishes were caught and released using three-pass electrofishing (model EFGI 650 electrofisher). The fishing occurred along a 100m transect with fish net blockades set up at each end to prevent immigration and emigration of fish during the sampling period. Electrofishing occurred in 3 phases, the same transect line was repeated with different voltages. Voltage varied per stream based on its conductivity and the recommended guidelines provided by SAFE. Fishes caught were identified to species level following the fish identification guide provided by SAFE and length of fishes was measured using a ruler.<br>The data collected was used to estimate fish biodiversity and stream discharge rates in R. </p><p><b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/projects/project_view/152"><b>MRes Tropical Forest Ecology Field Course</b></a></p><p><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available <a href="https://www.safeproject.net/datasets/xml_metadata?id=3926374">here</a></p><p><b>Files: </b>This dataset consists of 4 files: SAFE_Hydrology_2020.xlsx, Wilkinson2018.pdf, Fish_ID_Sheet.pdf, Electrofishing_discharge.csv</p><p><b>SAFE_Hydrology_2020.xlsx</b></p><p>This file contains dataset metadata and 4 data tables:</p><ol><li><p><b>Discharge measurements for streams at SAFE</b> (described in worksheet Stream_discharge)</p><p>Description: Stream discharge rates were measured using gulp injection dilution gauging using salt as the tracer.

Post-disturbance conifer tree-ring δ15N reflects openness of the nitrogen cycle across temperate coastal rainforests
<p>1. Post-disturbance losses in nitrogen (N) may diminish forest productivity, and soils with inherently 'open' N cycles (high nitrification rates) are considered the most vulnerable to leaching losses of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>. Monitoring ongoing N depletion from soil profiles is challenging, but tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N of regenerating stands may offer an effective method for assessing site-specific, long-term soil N dynamics. Evidence to date is mixed, however, and includes increasing, unchanging, or decreasing tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N in young stands following stand-level disturbances, possibly because of contrasting soil fertility among study sites. In addition, a consensus on post-disturbance N trajectories is hampered by the sometimes inconsistent patterns in tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N found between tree species of differing mycorrhizal association.</p> <p><a name="_Hlk38376288">2. We compared tree-ring </a>δ<sup>15</sup>N of two conifer species (<i>Picea sitchensis</i> with ectomycorrhizal fungi and <i>Thuja plicata</i> with arbuscular mycorrhiza) from a replicated silviculture trial across temperate rainforests of Vancouver Island (Canada). A natural gradient in soil fertility across the six sites, driven largely by topography and parent materials, was confirmed by an <i>in situ</i> increase in N mineralization and nitrification rates with declining C:N ratios for both organic horizons and mineral soils. </p> <p>3. Five decades after logging, the overall trend in tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N was positive, but among individual plots there was a wide range in δ<sup>15</sup>N slopes, ranging from nearly 0 to 0.13. We found the gains in tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N over time were consistent between mycorrhizal types and escalated sharply (up to 6‰) with increasing N mineralization rates, although less so on flat terrain with seasonal water tables. The most recent sapwood was also enriched in <sup>15</sup>N as soil N mineralization rates increased, perhaps slightly more so for <i>T</i>. <i>plicata</i> than <i>P</i>. <i>sitchensis</i>. </p> <p>4. <i>Synthesis</i>. The correspondence of tree-ring δ<sup>15</sup>N with soil fertility may be especially strong in regenerating forests because of tree ontogeny effects, including the expansion of rooting depth and differences in N resorption efficiency with stand age. <a name="_Hlk37683599">Sharp</a> increases in tree-ring d<sup>15</sup>N underscore the vulnerability of low C:N soils with open N cycles to post-disturbance N losses, and highlight how repeated, frequent harvest cycles may risk substantial N depletion from these productive rainforest ecosystems.</p>
Effects of habitat transitions on rainforest bird communities across an anthropogenic landscape mosaic
<p>We compared bird community responses to the habitat transitions of: rainforest-to-pasture conversion, consequent habitat fragmentation, and post-agricultural regeneration, across a landscape mosaic of <span>about </span><span><span>600 km<sup><span>2</span></sup></span></span><span> in the eastern Australian subtropics. Birds were surveyed in seven habitats: continuous mature rainforest; two size-classes of mature rainforest fragment (4-21 ha, 1-3 ha); regrowth forest patches dominated by a non-native tree (2-20 ha, 30-50 years old); two types of isolated mature trees in pasture; and treeless pasture; with six sites per habitat. We compared the avifauna among habitats, and among sites, at the levels of species, functional guilds, and community-wide. Community-wide species richness and abundance of birds in pasture sites were about one-fifth and one-third, respectively, of their values in mature rainforest (irrespective of patch size). Many measured attributes changed progressively across a gradient of increased habitat simplification. Rainforest </span><span><span>specialists</span></span><span> became less common and less diverse with decreased habitat patch size and vegetation maturity. However, even rainforest fragments of 1-3 ha supported about half of these species. Forest generalist species were largely insensitive to patch size and successional stage. </span><span><span>Few</span></span><span> species reach</span>ed their greatest abundance in either small rainforest fragments or regrowth. All pastures were dominated by bird species whose typical native habitats were grassland, wetland and open eucalypt forest, while pasture trees modestly enhanced local bird communities. Overall, even small scattered patches of mature and regrowth forest contributed substantial bird diversity to local landscapes. Therefore, maximising the aggregate rainforest area is a useful regional conservation strategy.</p>

Figure 2. Annual variation of relative abundance in eight species with more than 100 individual observations along the study transect. Note different activity patterns displayed by the species, some active year round (M. grandidieri), some restricted to the warm/rainy season (A. madagascariensis, B. pyrrhus), some active year round but with a clear peak in the late cold/dry season (B. viridis) or early dry season (Heterixalus spp.), and P. palmata showing an extremely seasonal, explosive breeding activity. The asterisk in the plot for P. palmata indicates the massive breeding of the species when the number of individuals was uncountable and estimated as 100.
