The record contains information on leaf chemistry studied on co-occurring tropical mountaintop restricted tree species from various mountaintop sites in Far North Queensland in 2019. Data on leaf stable carbon and nitrogen isotope concentrations, and elemental chemistry such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, copper, boron, sulfur, zinc and manganese are provided.

We at TERN acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians throughout Australia, New Zealand and all nations. We honour their profound connections to land, water, biodiversity and culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Funding for the field and analytical component of this data collection was provided by the Skyrail Rainforest Foundation and The Wet Tropics Management Authority to lead author, Arun Singh Ramesh. 
Purpose
The data set was generated as part of the author's PhD project with the title, "Temperature and soil nutrient availability shape tree responses to elevation in the Australian Wet Tropics". The data is part of a study focusing on leaf traits of tropical mountaintop restricted tree species and is associated with a larger collaborative research project led by the Tropical Mountaintop Plant Science (TrOMPS) team, Australian Tropical Herbarium.
