This herpetofaunal search data package comprises herpetofaunal data recorded during time-controlled active searches along permanent 100 m long transects along which three artificial substrates have been incorporated. At the 20 m and 80 m points along each transect two sheets of corrugated iron, four roof tiles and four half-length railway sleepers, are situated. Searches for reptiles and frogs are conducted bi-annually, once in August and again in December of each year. The Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network was established in 2002 in Booderee National Park in the Jervis Bay Territory, South-eastern Australia. The study location is a floristically diverse area in which fire history has been well-documented over several decades. The plot network’s objectives involve quantifying the inter-relationships between natural disturbance and/or management intervention (including weed and feral animal control and prescribed burning) and the reciprocal changes in vegetation condition and biodiversity response. The Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network study forms part of the collection of data packages by this plot network. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Jervis Bay Booderee National Park Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/jervis-bay-booderee-national-park.
