These data show the change in basal area and stem number following infection by Cinnamon Water Mould (Phytophthora cinnamomi) at the Garrawalt permanent plot NW of Townsville between 1975–2009. It demonstrates the recovery in dieback areas in Australia's tropical rainforests. The data tables attached are used to generate the graph in Figure 5.11 on p133 of the book Lindenmayer et al. 2014 Biodiversity and Environmental Change: Monitoring Challenges and Direction. The CSIRO permanent rainforest plots are located within 60 km of the north Queensland coast between Mackay (21.5ºS, 149ºE) and the Iron Range on Cape York Peninsula (12.5ºS, 143ºE). The plots have a rainfall range of 1200 to 3500 mm, represent eleven vegetation types, six parent materials, and range from 15 m to 1200 m above sea level. Except for minor disturbances associated with selective logging on two plots, the plots were established in old growth forest and all plots have thereafter been protected. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Tropical Rainforest Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/tropical-rainforest.
