Tropical Rainforest Cyanogenesis

Survey of trees in wet tropical rainforest for biochemical properties. All trees in these quadrants were identified and tested for cyanogenesis (n=401 species). Field work was conducted between July 1999 and September 2002. Six 200 m2 plots (20 × 10 m) were established at each of five sites (total area 1200 m2 per site) in lowland and upland rainforest in the tropics of north east Queensland, Australia.

Location of study sites in tropical rainforest in far north east Queensland, Australia. Two pairs of sites in upland rainforest on the Atherton Tableland: Lamins Hill (17°22.4'S, 145°42.5'E) and Mt Nomico (17°13.3'S, 145°40.4'E), and two sites at Longlands Gap (on basalt 17°27.7'S, 145°28.5'E and on rhyolite 17°27.3'S, 145°28.6'E). A fifth site was in lowland rainforest near Myall Creek and Cape Tribulation (16°06.2'S, 145°26.9'E).
