This terrestrial LiDAR dataset captures detailed vegetation structural information at the Robson Creek Tropical Rainforest SuperSite within Danbulla National Park, North Queensland, Australia. The purpose of this data is to enhance understanding of vegetation dynamics and ecosystem function in the region. The dataset is part of a broader collection of Terrestrial LiDAR data acquired from all TERN SuperSites, aimed at achieving a standardized and highly detailed capture of 3D vegetation structure across Australia.

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.
This work was jointly funded by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), an Australian Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) project, CSIRO and the University of Queensland. This work was also supported by an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (DE190101182).
TERN Robson Creek SuperSite is managed by James Cook University and is located within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area administered by the Wet Tropics Management Authority. 
Purpose
Terrestrial LiDAR measurements can be used to assess vegetation structure, create 3D reconstructions, and perform terrain surface analysis.
