This data package comprises fire severity scores from Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk from 1994 onwards. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x 20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 133 plots are located in Kakadu, 41 plots are located in Litchfield and 46 plots are located in Nitmuluk. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type/habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation (for example, stands of Callitris and sandstone heaths). In addition, many plots are located at, or in the near vicinity of, intensively managed sites such as camp-grounds and other tourist destinations. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Three Park Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network's full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/three-parks-savanna.
