๐ #DataDiscovery | Far North Queensland Microclimate Data
The far north Queensland microclimate is an ongoing long-term microclimate monitoring project from 5 tropical rainforest sites, located within an elevation range of 40-1,550m above sea level.

5) strong correlation between climatic and edaphic factors, with temperature driving soil properties. Overall, some of these findings are crucial for predicting climate change impacts on species distributions.

Our Tropical Mountain Plant Science #TrOMPS team has been nominated as finalists for the Australian Museum Eureka Prize. Great job led by @DMCrayn @aust_trop_herb@jcu for putting together this amazing project along with a network of collaborators working on the TrOMPS project.
7. We conclude that, as the climate warms, impacts on nutrient cycling at the ecosystem scale may lag direct effects of temperature on tree metabolism; understanding how such changes will interact with species traits is a formidable, but an important, challenge.
6. Our experiment provided new insights in instances where the observed field trends could not be reproduced in the glasshouse by varying temperature and soil nutrient availability in isolation, namely the effects of atmospheric pressure and Vapour Pressure Deficit.
