Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, 2012

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, 900 m and 1100 m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands.

针对澳大利亚热带雨林脊椎动物（vertebrates）的分布与丰度数据（distributional and abundance data）开展监测，可为一系列探究生物多样性决定因子的比较研究提供数据支撑，并用于评估全球气候变化所带来的影响。本数据集为一处监测样带（monitoring transect），采用标准化调查方法（standardised survey techniques）采集数据，用以评估脊椎动物的分布与丰度情况。该数据集隶属于一项更大规模的监测项目，该项目横跨湿热带地区（Wet Tropics region）5座山脉的纬度与海拔梯度。一处监测样带由沿1公里样地布设的6个采样点构成，针对两栖类（amphibians）、爬行类（reptiles）、鸟类（birds）与哺乳类（mammals）开展调查。本数据集对应兰姆山脉高地（Lamb Range Uplands）伊迪丝山（Mt Edith）上海拔700米、900米与1100米（asl）处的监测工作。
