Abstract
We studied responses of butterflies, vegetation structure, and floral resources to fire regime at a long-term fire experiment near Darwin in the Australian tropical savanna. This dataset consists of data collected during the 2019/2020 wet season at 18 1-ha plots in three blocks, where each block contains six randomly assigned fire treatments. We measured butterfly, vegetation structure, and floral resources data, and collected fire regime data. These data are associated with Leone et al. (2023). Fire regime shapes butterfly communities through changes in nectar resources in an Australian tropical savanna. Ecosphere. Along with its associated paper, we hope these data will provide helpful information for those working in fire management, butterfly conservation, and biodiversity conservation more broadly.

FireTreatmentPlotData_Leone.csv
Data from each of 18 1-ha experimental fire treatment plots, including fire treatment data such as fire frequency and season, as well as butterfly, flower, and host plant data.
(5 KB)
VegQuadratData_Leone.csv
Data from 9 m² vegetation quadrats within experimental fire treatment plots. Each fire treatment plot contained nine fixed vegetation quadrats as well as vegetation quadrats centered at each butterfly observation. Fixed vegetation quadrats were surveyed three times during the study for vegetation structure and floral resources.
