Vertebrate Fauna Biodiversity Monitoring, Far North Queensland Rainforest SuperSite, Robson Creek, CTBCC, LU9A, 2014

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 1km site for which amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are surveyed. The dataset here represents the monitoring at 900m 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，以及评估全球气候变化的影响，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。本数据集对应单条采用标准化调查方法采集数据的监测样带，用于评估脊椎动物的分布与种群丰度。该数据集隶属于一项大型监测项目，该项目在澳大利亚湿热带地区的5座山脉间沿纬度与海拔梯度布设监测样带。每条监测样带在1公里长的样地内设置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900米处的监测数据。
