Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, LU11A, 2011

Monitoring of distributional and abundance data for Australian tropical rainforest vertebrates is required to inform a wide range of comparative studies on the determinants of biodiversity and assess the impacts of global climate change. The data set here serves as a single monitoring transect for which data was collected using standardised survey techniques to assess distribution and abundance of vertebrates. It is part of a larger monitoring project that bisects latitudinal and elevational gradients across 5 mountain ranges in the Wet Tropics region. A monitory transect is represented by 6 points along a 1 km site for which amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are surveyed. The dataset here represents the monitoring at 1100 m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands.

澳大利亚热带雨林脊椎动物的分布与丰度数据监测对于为各类生物多样性决定因素比较研究提供依据、评估全球气候变化影响至关重要。本数据集代表一条单一监测样线，其数据通过标准化调查技术采集，用于评估脊椎动物的分布与丰度。该数据集隶属于一项规模更大的监测项目，后者横跨湿热带地区5个山脉，覆盖纬度与海拔梯度。每条监测样线由1公里样地内的6个调查点构成，针对两栖类、爬行类、鸟类及哺乳类动物开展调查。本数据集记录了兰姆山脉高地伊迪丝山海拔1100米（asl）处的监测结果。
