Target:
A multi-application tropical transect, covering agriculture (sugarcane),
pristine tropical lowland rainforest areas, estuary mangrove stands and
coastal benthic zones. The impact of agricultural activities will be assessed,
together with detection of vegetation change. The site is subject to severe
natural cycles including cyclonic storms. The transect in part covers the
world heritage listed Daintree and Cape Tribulation areas. Research on this site
is linked with the Cooperative
Research Centre for Tropical Rainforest Ecology and Management. The Cape Tribulation
study site operates a 55m (radius) canopy crane designed to position researchers
and equipment within every dimension of the rainforest, ranging from soil
environments to above canopy locations.
