Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, 2013

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 700 m, 900 m and 1100 m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands.

为开展关于生物多样性决定因素的各类比较研究，并评估全球气候变化的影响，亟需对澳大利亚热带雨林脊椎动物的分布与丰度数据开展监测工作。本数据集为单条监测样带（transect），采用标准化调查技术采集数据，用于评估脊椎动物的分布与丰度状况。该数据集隶属于一项更大规模的监测项目，该项目贯穿湿热带地区（Wet Tropics）5个山脉的纬度与海拔梯度。每条监测样带沿1公里长的样地设置6个采样点，在此开展两栖类、爬行类、鸟类与哺乳类的调查。本数据集收录了兰姆高地伊迪丝山上海拔700米、900米与1100米（asl）处的监测数据。
