Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, 2015

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 monitoring transects at Lamb Uplands (including Robson Creek node), for which data was collected using standarised 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 at Lamb Uplands (including Robson Creek node) is represented by 6 points along a 1km site for which amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are surveyed. The dataset here represents the monitoring at 700, 900 and 1100m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands with 4x 1km transects located at:
