Depth of the water table in the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site between 2014 - 2015

This dataset contains bird occurrence data collected at the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site in 2014.

Wood block decomposition assessment at the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site is part of a global program looking at the influence of microbes and invertebrates on wood decay. A common protocol was developed exposing small (~400 cm3) pieces of a wood-substrate (untreated Pinus radiata) to the environment excluding and not-excluding macroinvertebrates (e.g. termites) by the use of a plastic mesh.

This dataset consists of images of fauna, flora, fungi or general scenery or events captured at the site on an ad-hoc basis and may provide the researcher with information regarding the species that occupy, frequent or traverse this site.<br /> <br /> The site is located at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory in Lowland Complex Mesophyll Vine Forest near Cape Tribulation. Flux monitoring was established in 2001 with additional monitoring capabilities added over time. The site has more than 80 species including canopy trees belonging to the <em>Arecaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rutaceae, Meliaceae, Myristicaceae and Icacinaceae</em> families. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/daintree-rainforest-supersite/. <br /> <br /> Other images collected at the site include digital hemispherical photography, photopoints and phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed under and overstorey cameras. <br /> <br /> <iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?layer=c&amp;panoid=wL8xDLiiHDgAAAQWfm9mWg&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;source=embed&amp;output=svembed&amp;cbp=13%2C267.9536%2C%2C0%2C0" title="Photosphere view from inside the rainforest at the DRO (photo M.

This data contains a list of all vascular plants surveyed in the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site in 2014.

<p>This dataset contains audio files from Daintree Rainforest SuperSite, Cape Tribulation. The site is located at the Daintree Rainforest Observatory in lowland complex mesophyll vine forest near Cape Tribulation. The site has more than 80 species including canopy trees belonging to the <em>Arecaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rutaceae, Meliaceae, Myristicaceae</em> and <em>Icacinaceae</em> families. For additional site information, see <a href="https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/daintree-rainforest-supersite">Daintree Rainforest SuperSite</a></p> <p>In 2020 four acoustic recorders were set up to collect audio data continuously as part of the Australian Acoustic Observatory (A2O) project. Two recorders were placed in relatively wet habitats and two in relatively dry habitats.</p>

Data on weather conditions at the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site collected between 2006 - 2014. Weather station data includes daily records of air temperature, wind speed, solar radiation, relative humidity and rainfall.

This data contains leaf area index calculated from Digital Hemispheric Photography images taken at the core 1-ha plot in the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site between 2014 - 2016

<p>Fixed cameras installed at TERN Daintree Rainforest SuperSite, Cape Tribulation provide a time series of fine scale data as a long-term record of vegetation structure and condition. This dense time series of phenocam images provides data for analysis of ecological responses to climate variability, and when consolidated across the entire terrestrial ecosystem research network, supports calibration and validation of satellite-derived remote sensing data, ensuring delivery of higher quality results for broader scale environmental monitoring products.</p> <p>TERN Daintree Rainforest SuperSite, Cape Tribulation is located in lowland complex mesophyll vine forest near Cape Tribulation. The site has more than 80 species including canopy trees belonging to the <em>Meliaceae</em>, <em>Euphorbiaceae</em>, <em>Lauraceae</em>, <em>Myrtaceae</em> and <em>Apocynaceae</em> families. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/daintree-rainforest-supersite/.</p> <p>Other images collected at the site include photopoints, digital hemispheric photography (DHP) and ancillary images of fauna and flora.</p>

This data contains stem diameter, height measurement and above ground living biomass calculations for an Australian tropical rainforest. Diameter and height measurements for stems ≥10cm diameter at breast height were sampled between 2001 - 2010 in the canopy crane plot and in 2014 within the core 1 ha plot within the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation site.
