Brief description
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: LU7A (Robson ck) LU7B (Robson ck) LU9A LU11AData time period: 2015-03-01 to 2015-05-14
text: The sites are located at 1100 m (LU11A), 900 m (LU9A) and 700 m (LU7A, LU7B) in elevation and each consist of 1 km long transect going up along the Mt Edith Road. There are six individual sampling points, located at every 200 m interval within each transect, which are flagged and marked with reflectors for easier detection.
