The LTERN Tropical Rainforest Plot Network Plot Details Data Package contains spatial coordinates from 20, 0.5 ha (100 m x 50 m) permanent rainforest plots in Northern Queensland, Australia. This is part of a much larger dataset that spans from 1971 to 2013 that is managed by CSIRO. The CSIRO permanent rainforest plots are located within 60 km of the north Queensland coast between Mackay (21.5ºS, 149ºE) and the Iron Range on Cape York Peninsula (12.5ºS, 143ºE). Due to the wide geographical range of the plots, no species dominate, although the families Lauraceae, Rutaceae and Myrtaceae contribute a large number of species. The data collected from the 20 plots provides an insight into the floristical composition, structure and long term forest dynamics of Australian tropical rainforests and allows direct comparisons to be made with long-term monitoring plots at a global scale.
