Connell Rainforest Plot Network: Subtropical Rainforest Tree Demographic Data, O’Reilly’s Plot, Lamington National Park, Queensland, Australia, 2015

Abstract: his rainforest tree data package comprises stand structure data for rainforest trees at the O'Reilly's Connell Rainforest Plot, Lamington National Park (84 km south of Brisbane), Queensland for 2015. The O'Reilly's Plot consists of two 1.0 hectare plots spaced 600 m apart in sub-tropical rainforest, established in 1963. They have always been treated as a single unit for the purpose of analysis. Rainforest tree attributes recorded comprise the size (height or girth) of tagged and mapped, free-standing stems of shrub and tree species. Sampling has been undertaken at intervals of 1-6 years since 1963. It essentially provides a snapshot of stand structure on the site. This data package forms part of the collection of vegetation data undertaken at plots situated in both Lamington National Park and Davies Creek initiated by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara) in 1963.

A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Connell Rainforest Plot Network's full program is provided at https://doi.org/10.25911/5c13444388e1b.

This data package forms part of the collection of vegetation data undertaken at plots in Lamington National Park which were initiated by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara) in 1963. The same sampling methods are employed in a related data package focussing on tropical rainforest plots at Davies Creek, Dinden National Park (1.7 ha, 25 km south-west of Cairns). Sampling has been undertaken at intervals of 1-6 years.

Project abstract: This group conducts research in the rainforest investigating tree demographics.

Project funding: The National Science Foundation was the sole funder of this research between 1963 and 2003.

摘要：本雨林树木数据集包包含2015年昆士兰州拉明顿国家公园（布里斯班以南84公里）奥赖利·康奈尔雨林样地的雨林树木林分结构（stand structure）数据。该样地由两块间距600米的1.0公顷样地组成，地处亚热带雨林，于1963年设立，分析时始终将其视为一个整体单元。记录的雨林树木属性包括已标记并绘图的灌木与乔木物种的单株立木的尺寸（高度或围长）。自1963年起，研究人员以1至6年为间隔开展采样工作。本数据集本质上提供了该样地林分结构的静态快照。本数据集包是约瑟夫·H·康奈尔（Joseph H. Connell）教授（加州大学圣巴巴拉分校）于1963年启动的拉明顿国家公园与戴维斯溪样地植被数据收集项目的组成部分。

采样方法：奥赖利样地由两块间距600米的1.0公顷样地组成，分析时始终将其视为一个整体单元。本数据集包是约瑟夫·H·康奈尔教授（加州大学圣巴巴拉分校）于1963年启动的拉明顿国家公园样地植被数据收集项目的组成部分。针对丁登国家公园戴维斯溪（凯恩斯西南25公里处，面积1.7公顷）的热带雨林样地的相关数据集包采用了相同的采样方法。采样工作以1至6年为间隔开展。

项目摘要：本团队开展雨林树木种群动态（tree demographics）相关研究。
