Far North Queensland Microclimate - FNQ-microclim

This is a supplementary record on calculated bioclimatic variables from the Far North Queensland Microclimate (FNQ microclim) data sets on the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, Data Discovery Portal and soil attributes studied along an elevation gradient in the Australian Wet Tropics bioregion (40 - 1550 m a.s.l.).

This record contains 4 csv files that contain data on the microclimate obtained from the TMS-4 sensors and bioclimatic variables calculated from raw sensor data using monthly averages in soil and air temperatures from all the study sites. Microclimate information such as soil, surface air and above ground air temperatures and soil nutrients and moisture availability data can be accessed via the URLs provided. In addition the csv files contain other variables related to soil nutrients, soil properties and Tree basal Area calculated for each of the study sites where the microclimate information were captured.
