Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, LU7A, 2009

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 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所带来的影响，亟需对澳大利亚热带雨林脊椎动物的分布与种群丰度数据进行监测。本数据集为单条监测样带的相关数据，其通过标准化调查手段采集，旨在评估脊椎动物的分布情况与种群丰度。该数据集隶属于一项覆盖湿热带地区5座山脉、横穿纬度与海拔梯度的大型监测项目。单条监测样带在1公里样地范围内设置6个采样点，针对两栖类、爬行类、鸟类与哺乳类开展调查。本数据集对应兰姆山脉高地伊迪丝山海拔700米处的监测工作。
