+61 3 9479 3675 p.green@latrobe.edu.au Professor Joseph H. Connell University of California This package contains location data for two long-term forest dynamic plots established in 1963 by Professor Joseph H. Connell (University of California, Santa Barbara): one plot in tropical rainforest in Davies Creek in Dinden National Park (1.7 ha, 25 km southwest of Cairns) another in subtropical rainforest near O'Reilly's Guest House in Lamington National Park (2 ha, 65 km south of Brisbane). The Davies Creek plot was put in over an existing 0.4-ha plot established by the Queensland Department of Forestry in 1951, so the central part of the Davies Creek Plot has records extending back more than six decades. This plot was originally an untreated 'control' site against which the effects of various silvicultural treatments could be assessed, so this site has never been logged or thinned. The O'Reilly's plot consists of two 1-ha plots spaced approximately 600 m apart, but for analyses they have always been treated as a single unit. This plot has never been logged, but some selective logging has occurred just outside the plot boundary.

Connell Rainforest Plot Network Plot Details - Spatial Coordinates contains location data for long-term monitoring sites, one plot in Davies Creek in Dinden National Park and two plots 600 m apart near O'Reilly's Guest House, Lamington National Park, Queensland.

Davies Creek, Dinden National Park, North Queensland and O'Reilly's, Lamington National Park, Southeast Queensland The Davies Creek 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. The O'Reilly's Plot consists of two 1.0 hectare plots spaced 600 m apart, which have always been treated as a single unit for the purpose of analysis. The same sampling methods are employed at both plots, at intervals of 1-6 years. 1485737518455 Data Owner The National Science Foundation (USA) was the sole funder of this research between 1963 and 2003. 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 (NCRIS) and Education Infrastructure Fund–Super Science Initiative through the (now) Department of Education. ctrf_plot_details_spatial_coordinates_p976t1251.csv ctrf_plot_details_spatial_coordinates_p976t1251.csv 277 1 #x0A column , ecogrid://knb/ltern9.55.1 cn=submitters,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org all cn=pn_connell_rainforest,o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org read site Plot Name Character easting Easting number integer northing Northing number integer datum Datum - World Geodetic System 1984 Character zone Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone Zone number dec_lat Decimal Latitude number real dec_long Decimal Longitude number real 3
