The desert ecology plot network, located in the Simpson Desert in central Australia, aims to track long-term shifts in biodiversity and ecological processes in relation to key drivers, both intrinsic to the resource pulse dynamics and due to human disturbance. These drivers include unpredictable rainfall and droughts, fire, feral predators and grazing.
