Mount Weld Altitudinal Transect Ecotonal and Baseline Altitudinal Monitoring Plots, Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite

This joint project has been established between Forestry Tasmania, the Nature Conservation Branch of the Department of Primary Industries and Water (DPIW) and the Zoology Department of the University of Tasmania. The aim of this project is to record baseline inventory and distributional biodiversity data against which future changes in the altitudinal distribution of flora and fauna can be measured (Brown et al. 2001) in relation to climate change, succession due to fire or its absence, and other chance events. Warra is a core site within the International Biodiversity Observation Year (IBOY) global long term monitoring network. The altitudinal transect surveys have been supported by IBOY as an associated Satellite Project.
