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 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 700m asl on Mt Edith in the Lamb Range Uplands.Data time period: 2014 to 2014
text: The site (LU7B) is located at 700m in elevation and consist of a 1km long transect along the walking track along Robson Creek which runs parallel to the Mt Edith Road. There are 6 individual sampling points, located at every 200m interval along this transect, (LU7B1, LU7B2, LU7B3, LU7B4, LU7B5 and LU7B6), which are flagged and marked with reflectors for easier detection.
