Data from study of tree hollows and long-term fire regimes in a tropical savanna near Darwin, Australia. Data was collected at a long-term (18-year) fire experiment approximately 40 km south of Darwin. Includes information on number of tree hollow entrances, proportion of stem piping at 0.2 m and 1.3 m, tree diameter at breast height, termite abundance (number of encounters) and level of activity (proportion of bait consumed), as well as fire regime (early dry season burns every one, two, three and five years, late dry season burn every two years, and unburned) and level of fire activity (accumulated fire intensity values over all years of burning).
