Dr Peter Juniper Data Collection Dr Igor Debski Data Collection This data package shows annual variation in flowering and fruiting over nine years for eight species of trees. These demonstrate that there is considerable variation in flowering and fruiting across both species and time. These data are used to produce the graphs found in figures 5.19 on page 142. This plot consists of one 1.7 hectare plot in tropical rainforest, established in 1963. Rainforest tree attributes recorded comprise the size (height or girth) of tagged and mapped, free-standing stems of shrub and tree species. Sampling has been undertaken at intervals of 1-6 years since 1963, and this data package describes longitudinal variation in seedling recruitment over almost four decades. This data package forms part of the collection of vegetation data undertaken at plots situated in both Lamington National Park and Davies Creek initiated by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara) in 1963. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Connell Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/connell-rainforest.

Prof Joseph H. Connell (University of California at Santa Barbara) established a long-term forest dynamics plot in 1963, in tropical rainforest at Davies Creek National Park 25 km south west of Cairns. The plot is 1.7 hectare, and was established over an existing an existing 0.4 ha plot established by the Queensland Department of Forestry in 1951. This plot has never been logged.

A phenological study was initiated at Davies Creek in January 1995 in an effort to understand temporal variation in seedling recruitment documented in the long-term censuses. Monthly observations of flowering and fruiting were made on more than 700 stems from 103 species for six years to the end of 2000, and then on a subset of 25 species for an additional three years to December 2003 (including the eight species in this data package). Monthly observations of between four and ten trees per species were made with binoculars from the ground. Flowering and fruiting were scored on a six-point, approximately logarithmic scale, from 0 which indicated no reproductive activity, to 5 indicating massive flowering and/or fruiting. Species flowered and fruited at characteristic times of the year; Cryptocarya corrugata flowers in Dec and matures fruits the following September, Darlingia darlingiana flowers in October and matures fruits the following March, Syzygium endophloium flowers in December and matures fruits the following November, Niemeyera Sp Mt Lewis flowers in January and matures fruits the following November, Cryptocarya angulata flowers in January and fruits in November, Franciscodendron laurifolium flowers in November and fruits the following February, Cardwellia sublimis flowers in November and matures fruits the following October, and Ceratopetalum succirubrum flowers in November and matures fruits the following January.

None The Dinden National Park Plot is a 1.7 hectare plot. The plot was selected by Prof. Joseph H. Connell in 1963 on the advice of his CSIRO collaborators Dr Len Webb and Mr Geoff Tracey, and was chosen for three reasons; it was accessible, it was unlogged, and a smaller 0.4 ha plot belonging to the Queensland Department of Forestry had already been established there in 1951. This plot is one of two plots established by Connell in 1963 – the other is in subtropical rainforest near O’Reilly’s Guesthouse in Lamington National Park, 65 km south of Brisbane. The same sampling methods are employed at both plots, at intervals of 1-6 years.

The plots were unfunded from 2003–2011. Since 2012 the Connell Rainforest Plot Network has been part of the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTERN). This work was supported by the Australian Government’s Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (www.tern.org.au) – an Australian research infrastructure project established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and Education Infrastructure Fund–Super Science Initiative through the (now) Department of Education. These data were curated and published with strategic funds from a TERN initiative to publish long term data packages from the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change:
